1.  Hanging out the washing (from the late 70s, not a UK chart hit but did well in the US charts and comes from a classic album, one-word answer, female name)
2.  Wellington's stop off North of the Border (who is the Duke of Wellington?, late 60s top 5 as was the late 70s cover)
3.  Suspiciously steep (think of another word/meaning for steep, late 60s supergroup)
4.  Selling off assets (who does this in an official capacity, late 60's top 10, instrumental, the song would be well known, not so much the title, you might hear it at Stamford Bridge or Huish Park)
5.  Roses under oath (2006 No 1, what does being under oath mean)

6.  Matches in Manchester - NORTHERN LIGHTS

7.  Teetering on the edge of the (outdoor) pool (from the late 70s, think of another name for the pool)

14. Typical of the mother-in-law (one-word title from the mid 90s, female singer of this group no longer with us)
15. Flipper loves the festive season (I could say Flipper would love Christmas every day, Flipper is not a dolphin.  Top 5 in the late 60s with a top 10 cover in the mid 70s)
16. Jumbled-up Johnny (who is this Johnny? He's getting on a bit now.  People know his daughter better these days.)
