Ok, so it must be musical - referring to the group called ''New Model Army'' (being a reference to Cromwell's army) - one of them has the family name Tomkins which was also the name of one of the original levellers. Am I getting close ?

You are 99.9% there..... so how does the leveller fit in?

 

[yorkshirehornet]

who was in the band?

 

[colognehornet]

Justin Sullivan changed his stage name to ''Slade the Leveller'' so that the dole office wouldn't know he was working - bit of googling was necessary for this

I do believe that Mark King, bassist for Level 42 (ergo, a Leveller) is a Watford fan.

Nope, sorry Yorkie. This band formed around 1970 (or thereabouts) - often thought of as being American (possibly because of their name), and with a female vocalist (also with not a very English sounding name).
