Music Quiz Question
Can you name the best selling music artist from each English county? I'll leave it open for a bit and see how many you can get between you.
I'll give you one of the tougher one's to get you started
Merseyside = The Beatles

Re: Music Quiz Question
Bit of a random effort but Aphex Twin for Cornwall, although it’ll probably be some sea shanty band I’ve never heard of.

Middlesex...Elton John ?
Re: Music Quiz Question
Am I at completely the wrong end of the country? For some reason I thought that they were from London, somewhere, or is it that some of the group is from Northumberland?

Thom Yorke was from Wellingborough but I imagine Radiohead will be classed as Oxfordshire.

Re: Music Quiz Question
The Knopfler brothers were from Newcastle.
Two other founder members were from Leicestershire.
They moved to London to get a start in the business.
3 for the price of one!

Re: Music Quiz Question
I saw the map with all the answers last week. I won’t ruin the comp but there are a few I disagree with. One is a trio for Dorset where only 1 member was from Dorset. Deep Purple are given for a county and not one member of the original line-up were from close to that county.
