TL, you definitely ask the next question now.
I realised I didn't give you a chance for a question before...and now you have 2 different questions correct.
Sorry x

Ok, let's see....

like from Sesame Street: which one does not belong to the others? (easy one that)
Oasis
I am Kloot
Engineers
Mogwai

Too hard?!

A bit OT - Oh dear I'm afraid I haven't a clue TL - but I am going to see Jethro Tull in March and the previous question makes me realise how out of touch I am! Sounds like a wonderful chance meeting there, LWD.

TL, which one does not belong?

Oasis - because they have split up?
or Mogwai because they are Scottish, and the others all have members that have links with Lancashire?


OT - Glendarian, enjoy the March show.
(We are still out of pocket by £76 from the shambles of the Memories of Woodstock Festival in Shrewsbury last summer, that never was, when we were going to see Tull, JLBJH (with orchestra) Strawbs and Melanie- who played at Woodstock originally. We still havn't got a refund back from that wannabee promoter)

Ok, watch the video.
Who originally wrote and sang this song?
and extra kudos if you can name the bass player who is with Steve, try first without looking at the info on youtube.

It's a Ray Charles song. No idea who the bassist is.



edit: just looked at the song information, now I know who the bassist is, but still none the wiser

Funny enough, I know that song from Glammetalband WASP...Still it is quite different from ol' Ray...

Correct answer hesh,

You are scratching your head as being none the wiser about who the bassist was.
I was just being a tease to throw in an extra question about a musician who is not a household name.
Yet he has given a lot of pleasure to so many over the years, and played with many of the 'big' names, and features on many albums, including his own. I first saw him at gigs in Caravan, and more recently as a duo with Geoffrey Richardson (who was also in Caravan, but now is mostly with Murray Head)
Bit of his past music history in below link, if you're interested.

So your turn for a question.

Thanks for that link, I'm vaguely familiar with some of those bands, but hadn't heard of the fella till today. That's something I love about this forum, that other members bring interesting bands to your attention; I'll be checking out some of his work now.

Now a question, hmmm ok,
who played to the smallest crowd on the main stage (Ithink there may have been only one) at the original(1969) Woodstock festival ?

Absolutely correct Chrissie.
He was the main headliner, so was billed to close the festival on Sunday night . The event had overran so severely that he didn't go on till the Monday morning.

Allllllrighty then! New question:

Since the late 1980’s, Johnny Marr (former guitarist for The Smiths) has appeared on albums by all but one of the following bands. With which band has he never made a recorded guest appearance?

Oasis
Girls Aloud
M People
Blur
Pet Shop Boys
Crowded House

Oooh, good one. A complete guess avoiding the most likely red herring, is it Blur?
