Saturday Snapshots #326


Welcome to the first Saturday Snapshots of 2024 - Happy New Year!

Although, it's not too happy, is it? Only a few days in and already we've had to say goodbye to Hutch. A full David Soul tribute will follow on Monday. 

Meanwhile... have yourself a bumper edition of Snapshots with 15 different artists to identify... how might their songs be connected?


15. Lost your job? These guys can help you out financially.

14. $6,000,000 Steve goes to Skywalker Ranch.

13. A good thing, used by one of the gentlemen mentioned above.

12. Good at advising you how to put one foot in front of the other.

11. What's on the other side?

10. Carolyne hurt by a muddle.

9. A friend of Allan Clarke.

8. Open All Hours.

7. Ghosts, demons, black magic...

6. Could be Green, Poison or Broken.

5. Tyne Henchmen Abound.

4. Winnie's glue gun.

3. The capital of Manchester.

2. Just the job for me!

1. A soggy mass.

Answers tomorrow morning, if you can't get them all today.

      Thanks. And thank you Alyson and M! I could have stared at that picture till the end of time and not had the slightest notion who it was.

      Plus one of the easiest clues - I would never have recognised him either.

      I don't think Buddy Holly would have been as successful had he not worn his signature glasses, despite the music. They made him stand out from the crowd (same as for Hank Marvin).

    2. English Teacher (or Master Blogger, either fits)
    4. Pooh Sticks?
    11. Alternative TV?

    I like to think I’d have got the Pooh Sticks clue anyway, had it not been included in the picture :)

      To be honest, I need to wear my glasses more when compiling this quiz.

    3. Alyson Mac6 January 2024 at 13:44

      I didn't spot that either - just thought they were wearing colourful shoes.

    Came back for another go. Think 13 is Positive Force, giving up on the other three

    Yes.

    15 are pretty obscure, though the clue is very straightforward.

    7 should be familiar to certain members of our Scottish contingent.

    5 should be familiar to everyone. If Khayem were here, he'd get that one.

    5 is Echo and the Bunnymen, isn't it? - anagram - and of course Ian McCulloch's hair!

  15. Martin6 January 2024 at 19:53

    7 is The Supernaturals, right?

  16. Martin6 January 2024 at 19:54

    And since 15 isn't UB40, which might fit the clue, was there a band called Dole? Or The Dole?

  17. Rol6 January 2024 at 22:54

    Yes. And yes. And yes. Which makes for a clean sweep.

    Well done, all.
