DeleteCan't work out whether Jimmy Stewart is the clue at the top or more specifically 'Rear Window'.
ReplyDeleteUntil I do, is it anything to do with holidays and islands in the sun?
PS I think #1 is Harry Belafonte, hence the suggestion
DeleteThe clue is more to do with Jimmy than Rear Window.
DeleteNot holidays, but... interesting song guess.
The Jimmy clue links to band 10... if that helps.
Delete'Mr Hobbs Takes A Vacation' - think you could be right!
DeleteOops, scrub that then!
DeleteVertigo?
Delete10 - U2

ReplyDeleteNope.

ReplyDeleteIs it Record Labels? Apple, EMI etc
ReplyDeleteI think you might be on to something
DeleteAlyson is the winner on Record Store Day!
DeleteJona Lewie - Be Stiff. Could be!
DeleteBAD had a track called 'Sony'
DeleteBrilliantly deduced Alyson, congrats!
DeleteWell done Alyson. I'll accept a small tip for getting Vertigo as the Jimmy Stewart clue.
DeleteThere's a Rough Trade song in there somewhere too but I can't find it now. Thought it was record labels early on but dismissed it. Just goes to show.
DeleteApplause!
DeleteExtra points, Alyson - Stiff Little Fingers sang about Rough Trade.
DeleteErnie - you'd get a tip if I'd known there was a Vertigo record label but not one on my radar I'm afraid - I don't have as much vinyl as you guys.
DeleteChapeau
DeleteAlyson - former home of Status Quo, Black Sabbath, Thin Lizzy, Dire Straits, early Rod Stewart and #12 above amongst others.
DeleteEvery day's a school day.
DeleteI love the Vertigo logo - one of Mr SDS' favourite labels as it happens, too - but not for the bands Ernie lists above!
