Saturday Snapshots #280


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...

  3. 3. Looks like Billy Bragg in the background but might just be a doppleganger.

    4. I'm thinking spacecraft/UFOs although I can't see many such songs on the discographies. Gabrielle Drake was in UFO.

    5. You're correct. And not every song has a ufo in the title... but they are all about ufos.

    6. Ah well done, Alyson.
      Loved 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!)
