Who Sang?

From a posting a bit back--I Knew The Bride When She Used To Rock & Roll. I'd say it was Dave Edmunds.

A posting further back---ref: Marc Bolan.  His made up surname was from which music idol of his?  While you ponder that---i have a recording of a group playing in Germany called The Beat Brothers backing Tony Sheridan. Who were they better known as?

 Pink Floyd is named after 2 blues guitarists. Which ones?

Which year did Jimi Hendrix perform in Newbury, Berkshire?

Who took the micky out of The Shadows, recording "Cry For A Shadow"?

Hi Diana, and thank you for your welcome. Apologies for Cockney rhyming slang accidentally appearing in one of my questions. In full---taking the mickey bliss---means to mock someone; in this case, a style of guitar sound of Hank Marvin and The Shadows who backed Cliff Richard, similar band to The Ventures or Tornadoes in the US a bit later on.

 I've only heard the song Diana by it's original writer/performer, Paul Anka. Not to give my age away, but it made No.1 in the UK charts in 1957--though I was very young, though heard it on US radio stations at the time.

The 2 blues guitarists were Americans, as the US blues was having a big influence in early--mid '60s pop music here when Pink Floyd, and other bands, were formed.

Glad you liked my avatar. Paul.

He will go eventually Paul, feed him some nuts and send him on his way LOL

By the way Ron! Gerry and the Pacemakers is spell with a 'G' not a 'J' ....so no brownie point for you LOL

The answers to my questions--so don't read if you're still working them out!

Marc Bolan's surname was derived from Bob Dylan

Pink Floyd's name came from Georgia bluesmen Pink Anderson & Floyd Council

Jimi Hendrix played at Newbury, Feb. 1967 and costs 7/6 to see him at The Plaza

in Newbury's Market Place; now a major estate agents/auctioneers offices.

Backing Tony Sheridan were The Beat Brothers, aka The Beatles. At this time in 1961, they recorded the Harrison-Lennon song " Cry For A Shadow" as a parody of The Shadows; the only Beatles' song credited soley to Harrison-Lennon.
