Welcome!

I don't know of any famous bands from Gloucester. The Guillemots are from Cheltenham (down the road) and they're ok I guess. Kind of. But Simon Pegg is from Gloucester, and that's extremely cool

Good old Gary, you know you've made it when your name is rhyming slang for, er... anus.

Hi Emily...


Ahhh great game! But I'm afraid that where I live, the contenders are.. Ummm... Let me think.. This county has churned out Cathy Dennis and The Darkness. Oh and 'A'. That's about it.. Unless you count 80's hairspray hell band FM. Norfolk and Suffolk must have spewed out more surely? Hmmm.. Will try google!

[Dood]

Well...


Music, Norfolk:

From the world of music, the beautiful North Norfolk Coast inspires the heart-wrenching and emotional songs from singer/songwriters James Blunt from Cley-next-the-Sea, and David Gray at his seaside holiday home near Hunstanton.

Roger Taylor, drummer and backing vocalist of iconic rock band Queen was born in King's Lynn in 1949. Cathy Dennis and Beth Orton are from Norwich.

English classical pianist, television presenter, and former member of the UK pop group Hear'Say Myleene Klass is from Gorleston near Great Yarmouth. Also from Gorleston is Hannah Spearritt, actress and former S Club 7 singer.

Rick Wakeman lives near Diss. Also living near Diss is Mick Taylor who was a member of The Rolling Stones before leaving to be replaced by Ronnie Wood .

Blues Legend 'Seasick Steve' now lives in South Norfolk. Ed Graham, drummer of Lowestoft band The Darkness, was born in Great Yarmouth and has his studio in Norfolk.

The Stranglers released an album called Norfolk Coast, and the Norfolk Broads are mentioned in the David Bowie song Life on Mars.
