Is there some kind of Board record for this, 'cos I reckon that was about 70 seconds from first post to reply Indy.

You're right, of course. Douglas is a town on the Isle of Man.

Quoting:
Hi MD

4 is 'Day trip to Bangor' by Fiddlers dram (city in Gwynedd, N Wales)
5 is 'Eton rifles' by The Jam (Small town just West of Heathrow)
7 is 'Going down to Liverpool' by The Bangles (Port in the North West)
12 is 'London Calling' by The Clash (Tiny village on the Thames ;))

Tao

4 for 4 Taoist, well done :), and you even saved me the trouble of explaining some of the references!

Quoting:
#13 sounds like "Marrakesh Express" by Crosby, Stills & Nash.  But I thought Marrakesh was in Morocco…
End Quote

You're right on the song Crazy Don, and also on your geography. But as Fuss mentioned, Crosby is indeed a place in the UK (it's a town near Liverpool).

Quoting:
16)Running bear-johnny Preston
20)You make lovin fun-Fleetwood mac
End Quote

Correct on both counts Billy, well done.

Preston is a town on the Lancashire coast and Fleetwood is a fishing port also in Lancashire, now sadly on hard times.

Quoting:
#1 contains lyrics from "Arms of Mary" by Chilliwack, later horribly redone by Boyzone....but I can't think of a UK geographical location that has anything to do with this....Chilliwack is a little town in BC, Canada...about an hour from where I live and is the place the band was named after...

Song is correct Jonman, you get the credit for that. However the artist I had in mind was not Chilliwack but the Sutherland Brothers (and Quiver?) who had a hit with this song in the UK. I don't know which of these was the original version though. FBVP got the artist.  

Sutherland is a county in Scotland.

Hi maddog

19) I think is a Clash song...the name however, escapes me ???
End Quote

It is absolutely a Clash song, mandamoo, the location reference is in the song title in this case.
Keep thinking, I'm sure it will come to you ;).

Quoting:
17.  Said I loved you but I Lied--Michael Bolton
18.  (I'm hazarding an educated guess here)  Tusk--Fleetwood Mac?
End Quote

Correct on both hannahbear, well done. Bolton is a Lancahsire town north of Manchester. I seem to have an unconscious focus on Lancashire in this quiz....

I have never heard of those versions! Thanks for the info. I had always thought that the boys from Chilliwack had written it when in fact it was written by I. Sutherland (according to the Chilliwack album I have it on)...gonna go searching to d/l the other versions!! Great song!!

Quoting:
14. New England - Billy Bragg
End Quote

Correct RealJimA, well done. Also a hit for Kirsty MacColl.

Quoting:
#8 is Hersham Boys by  :-/ Sham 69

#15 is by David Essex but I can't remember the title.  It's from the musical Evita.  Is it called Oh What a Circus?
End Quote

Correct in every detail Karen, well done :) !

And what do you mean  :-/ Sham 69, eh? They were great! Well actually...no they weren't. They were really poor. I remember a conversation with my mother when I was trying to defend punk rock to her, then at that moment Sham 69 came on "Top of The Pops" singing "Hurry Up Harry". It rather undermined my argument....

Quoting:
I'll bump this one back up (and exceed the limit by 1/2)

19. is 'White man in Hammersmith Palais' by The Clash (Band already named by mandamoo)
Hammersmith is an area of London

Thanks Tao, this quiz needed a bump.
You're right, of course!
I'll also take all limits off 'cos I think the remainder are pretty obscure, particularly for non-UK based people.

Quoting:
3. sounds lik Belinda Carlisle, I'll guess at circle in the sand

That's Flower 'O' Scotland!
End Quote

Right on both counts Tao, well done.

I think the band who wrote Flower of Scotland was The Corries. At least, that's what Bill McLaren always used to say on the rugby commentary at Scotland internationals...
