The boys at the back...
The Ants and The attractions could both feature on tonight's show as it's 'backing groups' for the theme. We've been trying to find some unusual ones in case they are asked for tonight. It was a bit of a struggle until Gavin who manages our music collection came up with the idea of searching the digital library for "****and****the***".
It has kind of worked but did throw up some tracks The King of Rock And Roll and All Day And All Of The Night. Ah well.
I have come up with a list of some famous backing bands so see if you can identify the front men or women. Let's call it a quiz. I'll post the answers after the show.
- The Drifting Cowboys
- The Reclines
- The Blowfish
- The Funky Bunch
- The Flecktones
- The Impressions
- New Power Generation
- The Cardinals
- The Tennessee Three
- The Bluebelles

What's the pink vinyl? Only one I ever had on pink vinyl was Cool for Cats but that was A & M

I was about to answer this just having heard it on the radio, but as it has mostly been answered already I won't bother! :-)

It's not much of a collection to manage - a few CDs and one single - is he in for work experience?

Only Impressions I'm aware of was the soul group in which Curtis Mayfield started. It would have been a bit cheeky to steal such a famous name for a backng band!

Curved Air's Airconditioning looked great but was unplayable.

Don't think "some" will be able to run a simple search, copy & paste though... Shame "NOT!"

It made a great table mat. Back Street Luv was good, though.
