That'll teach me.

Umm...

I can see in my cd collection 2 british bands that have been named after road signs. Guess who they are.

Is one of them Hatfield and the North?

Probably not in your collection, but I used to go to the Crest Motel in Derby as a youth to drink Worthington E

and listen to the music of No Right Turn.

Correctly surmised and can I add my

concerning Worthington E.

Merton Park(ers)

nah he said road signs not place names. He could have Wham! if it was place names or Fleetwood Mac or Billy Preston or Johnny Bristol or Ryan Paris

clarion · « **Reply #1283 on:** 31 March, 2010, 02:28:26 pm »

Fulborn Teversham (you mentioned them in Tune Association this morning), named after Fulbourn & Teversham in Cambridgeshire. There must be a sign with them both on.

The Beautiful South?

Men At Work (though I'd be surprised if you had any of their records)

Same applies to Sleater-Kinney

Ah! You spotted my clue.

Correct!

So I guess that's back to PaulF for getting the first one...

Correct!

tbh, I thought it such an unusual name (and I still don't understand the link) that I'd looked them up on Wikipedia. No page, but a mention. And the search page suggested Fulbourn Teversham, which gave me the villages.

You mean you can't think of one!

Give me a few minutes

clarion · « **Reply #1290 on:** 31 March, 2010, 03:16:30 pm »

I can think of one. Two, in fact. But you were first out the traps.

PaulF · « **Reply #1291 on:** 31 March, 2010, 03:20:19 pm »

OK an easy one?

What city unveiled a mural of Jimi Hendrix on the building where he bought his first guitar?

I'm guessing that would be Seattle?

You do. Get on with it.

bobb · « **Reply #1297 on:** 31 March, 2010, 03:31:23 pm »

OK, what is the time signature of the verses in All you need is love as recorded by The Beatles?

clarion · « **Reply #1298 on:** 31 March, 2010, 03:31:52 pm »

7/4

I thought it was 5, then I sang it in my head & counted it.

EDIT: That's a weird time sig to use. And it varies, doesn't it? Ah yes, I see you specify the verses, so I think I'm OK. I'm not sure what else it uses.

Disclaimer: I never studied music theory, but I do know that I only know one rock song in 9/8
