The boys at the back...
The Ants and The attractions could both feature on tonight's show as it's 'backing groups' for the theme. We've been trying to find some unusual ones in case they are asked for tonight. It was a bit of a struggle until Gavin who manages our music collection came up with the idea of searching the digital library for "****and****the***".
It has kind of worked but did throw up some tracks The King of Rock And Roll and All Day And All Of The Night. Ah well.
I have come up with a list of some famous backing bands so see if you can identify the front men or women. Let's call it a quiz. I'll post the answers after the show.
- The Drifting Cowboys
- The Reclines
- The Blowfish
- The Funky Bunch
- The Flecktones
- The Impressions
- New Power Generation
- The Cardinals
- The Tennessee Three
- The Bluebelles
