Cities/places not in song titles A to Z

Bishop's Itchington

Although may I suggest we begin with Azerbaijan, as it transpires that Armenian players may not be admitted into the country to contest the Europa lg final.

It now occurs to me that I am also unaware of any popular songs that reference Armenia.

Congleton

Droop (that place in Dorset where Robert Alner used to train)

Somewhere on the Dorset Stour, I believe.

Or is that Throop?

Evesham

Fakenham, let's keep it rustic NH if we can. There are only two things that can blight a day out there, namely Tommo's commentary and Tommo's bucket.

Galilee, I have no doubt that the Christians have many delightful compositions that refer to this region but I'm entirely unaware of it cropping up in the r 'n' r cannon.

Hastings, utter sh1tehole and what's more there isn't even a popular tune that refers to the battle that occurred 10 miles up the road.

Ingleborough, a fine peak to trek up with several potholes on it's flanks, but yet to be immortalised in song.

Jaywick is yet to produce a singer/songwriter of note, therefore has no significant musical homage.

King's Bromley, the inferior partner to Abbot's Bromley and as such cannot boast a world famous horn dance.

Luton, only ever produced one significant son, who doesn't have a musical bone in his body.

Minchinhampton, even the most distinguished bards on these pages would unable to bend this curious placename to their preferred meter.

Can play the spoons...

Nottingham, where the Sleaford Mods hail from, but prefer to take their name from a small market town in the neighbouring county.

Ottery St Mary, Coleridge hailed from these parts, but he predated r 'n' r

Potters Green

Quinton Pool

Rest Home

Sutton Coldfield

Tallington Lakes

Uttoxeter

Vallodolid (Mexican one, don't know the Spainish)

Woy of Woxham

Yate, the kind of town that referees come from

Xian

Bishops Itchington. You from Warwickshire mouse or nearby?

Just wondered why Luton instead of Long Itch?

Luton is wrong. Cats UK had a top 30 hit in 1979 with Luton Airport.

Long Itchington it is then.

Or Ladbroke.

quite a few of these towns have been in songs  ...Uttoxeter probably not though

i'm going for Charlerio  to add to the belgium connection

Lillington

I'll play safe with Leamington Hastings as someone may possibly have done a song about the Spa.

Zanzibar - Billy Joel

Well, that was me not reading the thread title properly...
Make it Zagreb

Lapworth

Lawfords, Long and Little.

Long Stratton should have a song about it.

Widecombe in the moor
Ashton under Lyme
Nether Wallop
Giggleswick
Chorlton **** hardy
Chew magna
Chard
Stowmarket
Upton Snodsbury

as its A-Z and i've only just realised

Moretonhampstead 

did you know there's a Tw@tt in the Orkneys

Loxley

The Robin Hood connection to Loxley would surely have been in many a tune over the centuries?

Lighthorne & Lighthorne Heath

Loxley Warks, not Yorks

Luddington

Long Marston

Lower Quinton

Lowsonford

Lowestoft

Langley

I wonder .. you know how celebs can kind of trademark their name for commerical purposes, if you wrote a song about a celeb using their name, then it became a hit, could the song became a hit, could the celeb sue?

I'm kind of glad now my release of "Girl works down the chip shop swears she's Lady Gaga" flopped.
