Saturday Snapshots #293


Swear It Again: If I Let You Go, will you be Flying Without Wings in a World Of Our Own or will you be a Fool Again?

Yeah, I had to look up those song titles. Ronan Keating seems like a pleasant enough chap, but I can't pretend to be familiar with his hits. Hopefully you'll be more familiar with solving the clues below to reveal ten artists with songs connected by a particular theme...

...although I'm warning you now, it's a tricky one this week.


10. He Felt different in new material...

9. A Stewart is a Scott.

8. The People's Fiend.

7. Crowd of kilts.

6. This sounds like Rachel's.

5. Living next door to a howler.

4. How you might greet Bruce, John and Jeff.

3. Enoch, Jill, Tim: Amalgamated.

2. Mind them.

1. In demand. Sort of.

If any of these prove Unbreakable, the answers will become Obvious tomorrow morning...

  2. 6. There are four of them so I'm going with the Marvelettes (with Stevie Wonder?). Sorry not getting the clue though.

  4. Unlike you I am familiar with the hits of Ronan Keating, but those are by Westlife. I suspect you knew that though!

  5. As it's Mental Health Awareness week, is the link songs about the mind, the head and mental health illnesses?

    1. No. Tough link this week. There is a clue though...

  6. Is the link songs that have the same name as Boy Bands - Bros, Big Fun?

    1. I think Alyson may be on to it. Ray Charles could be 'Busted' for example

  7. 4 - is there a band called the Haywains?

    1. Well done - I went through all the famous Bruce and Jeffs I knew but didn't think of those.

      Delete
  8. Took me a while because I was thinking of Rod or Jackie for the Stewart, but 9 is of course the great Patrik Fitzgerald, famed for his Backstreet Boys EP and other hits. I've been lucky enough to have a beer with him a couple of times over the years.

    1. Ah, yes Patrik, I see it now. Great that you've known him, Ernie. Was lucky enough to see him perform at a small venue in my home town in '81, a very intimate, lovely gig - warm memories.

      Delete
    2. I saw him a few times around that time as well. Then about ten years ago he visited the UK for a few gigs (he lives in NZ now). My mate and I cornered him and his other half after his gig in the late lamented 100 Club and had a few drinks together.

    3. Friend of the stars, Ernie...

      Delete
  9. Well done, guys. I wasn't sure if the link would be too hard this week. That's why I had a picture of Ronan but used Westlife song titles...

  10. Ah well done Alyson, excellent work, and Ernie too.
    I was told that the Tartan Horde's most (only?) well-known song was 'Bay City Rollers, We Love You' which stumped me until you solved the connection.

  11. The late great Ernie Goggins sweeps up!
