Apparently this week's Saturday Snapshots was a tough one. OK guys, don't have a Breakdown. Hopefully you'll Feel A Whole Lot Better now... well done to Lynchie for reclaiming the early bird crown this week...

A tough one this week - Just couldn’t find a rapper going by the name Nat Hutch at all. Now I know why!
ReplyDeleteThat Laptop song should have been obvious from the clue - doh.
Thanks again for all your hard work.
Another fab quiz. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteWell done Rol - It’s good that you occasionally stump us!
ReplyDeleteChallenging yet fun! I'm kicking myself I missed Marquee Moon.
ReplyDeleteHad no idea Amen Corner was a band. I associate it with golf and Augusta.
Laptop's "Nothing to Declare" sounds like John Grant took a time machine back to the 90s.
Excellent as ever, I seem to have found myself a role of coming in at the last minute and sweeping up an odd unsolved one if I can!
