This is Nick Drake's sister, Gabrielle, welcoming you to this week's Snapshots, maybe because I'm running out of pictures of even semi-famous people holding a camera. Or maybe not.
Can you identify the ten artists below and tell me what connects their songs, please?
10. Inside next issue: dead pigeons!
9. Persson of interest found near Dortmund.
8. Killers from Barking.
7. Joel + Arthur + Lard.
6. John, Harry & Charisma.
5. You can't argue with this lot.
4. The Sound & The Fury, relatively.
3. Gloating goat found in cut price store.
2. Valet, can be green or golden.
1. Stolen Bounty.
If you find yourself at a Crossroads after that lot, turn in the direction of the answers tomorrow morning...
2 Graham Parker - from the picture not the clue

Is it a religious theme? Lord; Jesus; Christ.
ReplyDeleteJM
Is it things in the sky - Moon, Stars, Interplanetary Exraordinary Craft?
ReplyDeleteMore specific than that.
DeleteDifferent kinds of Star? Superstar etc
DeleteYou were closer with part of your first guess.
DeleteI'm thinking spacecraft/UFOs although I can't see many such songs on the discographies. Gabrielle Drake was in UFO.
DeleteYou're correct. And not every song has a ufo in the title... but they are all about ufos.
DeleteAh well done, Alyson.
DeleteLoved watching UFO on the Legend Channel last Summer (thankfully Mr SDS recorded it while I was up in Edinburgh for our bloggers' mini meet up too - I couldn't miss an episode!)
