Why have you got George Harrison and the Beatles as separate entities ? Is it a trick ?

And Led Zep? Planty comes from Wuulverampterrn, Page from somewhere down south [Surrey??] and the others from somewhere else. A band doesn't always come from a town.
Mr Picky. I mean pedantic.

I am doing a compliation CD in the style of Q-TV (The Best Of British), and on the back cover was going to be a map with the tracklistings pointing to where they come from. (I take my cover-art V.Seriously )I just copied down the track listings and as Christoph points out, he could have come from else where. Quote:

Never thought of that one. I think I will pick an area that has few artists there already. Pedantic is goodQuote:

I just like my Nintendo consoles. I haven't the heart to sell them and they still come out to play occasionally. OK, I think Toploader is Brighton and David Gray is Manchester, Black Sabboth = Birmingham (or Ozzy is at least). Still a few more to go. Ask your friends/parents. Much obliged |

I think the Verve might come from Wigan, rather than Warrington.
Derek and the Dominoes is really Eric Clapton. So where does he come from ? The Manics are Welsh. Not sure which city though.

The Stereophonics are from Cwmaman in Wales, not Cardiff, and Travis are from Glasgow. The Verve are from Wigan, Eric Clapton resides from either South London or Surrey...
