I joined yesterday but ceased to make an introduction..

HI Emily,
Here in Herefordshire we have Ellie Goulding, some of Oysterband and some of Mott the Hoople.

Whereas my home town of Colchester gave the world three quarters of Blur (and Dave Rowntree was one year up from me at school and drumming with the Strategic Arms Quartet and then the Elastic Snap Band at the time) plus ........ Matt Cardle (with Olly Murs just down the road in Witham).

So you rate the Modern Player Jag then? That's one of my short list.

How could I forget Brian Jones? Doh!

You know any more from Gloucester?

Go out as far as Newent and you've got Joe Meek (which would probably account for "Telstar").

Hi, Emily, and welcome!
Bands from where I was born - Ilford - not a clue.
From where I am now - Tavistock - Seth Lakeman and my band, that's about it. Nope, there's the adorable Kitty & The Lost Boys. Mustn't forget them!
What a line-up!

Bauhaus is the best I can do from Northampton. So i guess I'm at the bottom of this particular league table then!!

(The High Numbers played here though, which doesn't count, but I had to add some cred after that didn't I??)

Welcome from the land of The Wurzels ( I'm from Brum originally so I'll clain Black Sabbath as my ancestral bass influence)

Welcome Emily!
Best I can do from round these parts is Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Roger Waters, The Jam, The Stranglers, John's Children (who had Marc Bolan on guitar for a while) and John Lennon & George Harrison lived around here when they were in the Beatles.

In 1978 I was caught up in the famous town hall riot..... but that's about it

Yep, as a native of Plymouth I was dismayed at the poor showing from my hometown in the annals of pop!

[Telebass]

If we expand it to Plymouth, we can include Mercedes, Joker, and...that's about it!

[bigjohn]

More Liverpudlians! Hurrah!!

(That is unless you're Evertonian??)

Hello anyway.
