Saturday Snapshots #417


It's Saturday, it's half past eight, it's... Snapshots!

No shit, Sherlock.

Can you work out who these Strange folk below might be... and solve the mystery of what might connect their songs?

15. Big gigs at Butlins.

14. Now in interstellar space.

13. Fooled Ulric into thinking they were someone else.

12. She could have been part of last week's quiz. They mix Astbury and Weller with maximum effort.

11. Half of Ernie the Explorer!

10. New man and old Sherlock in a good stuffing.

9. Les Verts.

8. Stratofortress.

7. Mayall, Dodd, two thousand, two hundred and forty pounds. 

6. The first red reshuffle.

5. A good reason to pull onto the hard shoulder.

4. Between red and white.

3. Goes after a spider, leads a Mystery gang, wrote songs with Cynthia.

2. Brain tissue.

1. Can Sam send a cryptic clue?

Cumber-back tomorrow morning to hear the answers!

  5. 7 Based on the clue, is there such a person as Rik Kenton (or possibly John Kenton)?

  6. Ernie has it already but I was just about to chip in with: Songs that refer to places from the Cradle of Civilisation/Middle East. Cairo, Mesopotamia etc but it's a big fat NO. Well done Early Ernie.
