Good to see you back on the square, maddog...

Had me really thinking about #10. but I think the Yorkshire connection must be Bowie's gee-tarist of the time - the late Mick Ronson

...and the Tyke 'national anthem' bringing up the rear...

#19. On Ilkley Moor bar 'tat (heaven knows how you spell that!) - translation for those not fluent in Tyke...Upon the moor of Ilkley without a hat...

6.  Oasis - Supersonic

Yes, 2 for 2 here - my research (well, short trawl on google) revealed that Tony Christie was born in Doncaster and Billy Currie of Ultravox was born in Huddersfield.

Hi there JimA!

#1 is correct, #2 is the correct artist but #17 is way off I'm afraid!

I don't understand one *#$*%& word you said, but thanks for the laugh!  And people make fun of the New Yawk accent!

Anyway, #7 is "How Long" by Ace

:)

I believe 17 is Over My Shoulder by Mike + The Mechanics

Hiya ladybug - good to see you on board at the new board! And yes, the Yorkshire accent is definitely a distinctive one...

#7 is correct - the song was written and sung by Paul Carrack, who was born in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

I believe 17 is Over My Shoulder by Mike + The Mechanics

You're right Indy! Another song written and sung by the great Paul Carrack.
In one of those strange coincidences, this very song came on the radio just a few minutes before I saw your response!

- is it just me that thinks he sounds like Tom Jones ? :-\

errrr.....yes!  ;)

#3 Where Were You? - The Mekons

(listened to the album last night to verify it was that song!)

Hi karen  :)

You're correct - The Mekons are a band formed in the late 70s/early 80s by a group of Leeds University graduates. Apparently they're still going to this day.

I remember some months ago that you told me you had an old compilation album with this song on it, plus various other Yorkshire punk / indy bands!

13 is, after much cajoling by a Jacqueline Abbott fan... a track called "You Keep It All In" by The Beautiful South.

So I was told..

Correct Bobo!
Paul Heaton is from Hull, formerly in the East Riding of Yorkshire but since 1974 in its own county of Humberside.

Hint: this is not Paul Heaton's only appearance in this quiz!

Aha, yes, that's the one.

12: Happy Hour - the aforementioned

Well spotted Bobo, correct  :)!

I have listened to the album I have and couldn't find any of the lyrics from this quiz.  I guess one of the groups must be on here though.  S'pose Googling it is cheating

Apologies karen, I thought it was on there....then band is another indy group from Leeds formed in the early 80s.

Hey there Mordor, great to see you back with us  :)

You're so close with this title that I'm going to give it to you...the song title is actually "All Of My Heart".
The band ABC was formed in Sheffield, although the lead singer Martin Fry comes from Manchester.

#6 At Home He's a Tourist - Gang of Four.

14.She Sells Sanctuary-The Cult

How did I miss that one?  Good call Mordor

I've taken the liberty of clearing this up, as it's been hanging around quite a bit...(in actual fact, I think I answered this in the quiz's original incarnation, but I'm not 100% sure...)

#2. (Title) 'Louise'

14.She Sells Sanctuary-The Cult

Correct Mordor!

The Cult were formed in Bradford although their singer Ian Astbury is from the Wirral and Billy Duffy, the guitarist, is Scottish (I think).

#2. (Title) 'Louise'

You're right of course Paul - I couldn't remember who had provided all the answers on the old board but, given your track record, it probably was you  ;)!

Not enough quizzes on this new board!
Soooo....I've just compiled a new one which will be posted shortly.
