    A friend of mine who is also a musical director was in Sailor for a while as one of the new members.
    Saw them in Wycombe I think.

    No, I saw them at the Albert Hall in the early 70s. I seem to recall they called themselves 'the loudest rock 'n roll band in the world'.

    No, I saw them a couple of times at the Mean Fiddler and also at The Forum.

    No, I saw them at the MK Bowl in 1986 supporting Simple Minds. As I mentioned in another post it was the same day England played Argentina in the World Cup. Torture trying to get updates on the game.

    No, I've seen the Pogues numerous times - Mean Fiddler, Electric Ballroom, Hammersmith Palais, Brixton Academy.

    I'd say James because you couldn't go to a festival around the time of Sit Down without them being on the bill so I think they are the left-field obvious so not obvious choice.

    No, I've seen Elvis a couple of times. Camden 1978 and at the Albert Hall in the late 80s when he brought Van Morrison on as his special guest.

    I've seen James a couple of times too, but not at a festival. Brixton Academy about 15 years ago, and Worcester racecourse last year. Going to seem them again this summer at Newmarket racecourse.

    Supporting The Who at The Oval.

    At the Albert Hall, supported by Blodwyn Pig and Jethro Tull

    Got there in the end Grove. I put Cilla in as a kind of incongruous double bluff.

    Over to you.
