Today's are backing bands/singers just for a slightly different spin on it and should be pretty easy as a lot of them have a one-word clue so try to name the backing band and their lead singer.

Example:  Halley and Swan = Comets.  Bill Haley and his Comets.



1.  On the hour - Gladys Knight and THE PIPS

2.  Sought after in the kitchen (think cooking, maybe an Aga)
3.  Midgets (think vehicle)
4.  Moe, Larry, Curly (who are these)
5.  Fools (late 70's outfit)
6.  Rotten sunflowers (think of a byproduct)

7.  Sirens - Bob Marley and THE WAILERS
8.  Top pair - Desmond Dekker and THE ACES

9.  Dark lovers (fronted by a female)

10. Uri Geller and his ilk - Wayne Fontana and THE MINDBENDERS

11. Put some spin on it

12. Bugs - Adam and THE ANTS

13. Ancient rulers (from Egypt)
14. Just a whisper (or piece of gossip)
15. Bye Bye everybody, bye bye (there's an action to go with this)
16. Players (fronted by an American male)
17. I thought Don only had one daughter (Don is an actor with an actress daughter)
18. Hallucination Highway
19. Where are you going? OUT! SLAM
20. Pittsburgh Players

21. Mob - Kool and THE GANG

22. Jump on it
23. Edinburgh, Dover, Cardiff, Warwick, Leeds - what are these?
24. Ahead of the pack - who would be3?
25. Ouch ouch
26. Games over
27. It's all gone wrong for Julian, Dick, Anne, George and Timmy
28. No longer any werewolves in London

29. Sounds of the Summer - Buddy Holly and THE CRICKETS

30. Gas fires
