5. A Bear / A Teardrop Vox Mk III guitar - this is a good one – probably the most famous user of a VOX III was Brian Jones and he bought property once lived in by A.A Milne

8. Brian Ferry / Stuart Goddard / Hazel O'Connor - could this be something to do with Tony Visconti?

10. Rod Stewart / Pet Clark / The Stones. – all had songs with downtown in the title

Very good on q's 5 and 10, young man (be nice to have those song titles, mind...). Way off track on 8 however

Downtown

Downtown Train

Downtown Suzie

Wasn't Stuart Goddard the real name of Adam Ant? Has that got anything to do with it?

[loz]

Yes it is which is why I guessed the Visconti connection as I know he worked with Adam Ant and O'Connor and I was taking a bit of a punt with Bryan Ferry.
