From Quiz Andy Fairweather Low - Keeping On Rocking

Answer: Wales

Andy Fairweather Low was born in the Glamorgan mining town of Ystrad Mynach in 1948, before moving to Cardiff. He came from a working class background and grew up on a council estate. He was always keen on music but did not have any practical experience until he started working in a music shop in Cardiff - hired by Dave Edmunds, who would also become one of the best guitarists and singers to come out of Wales. "It was there that I first picked up a guitar. I just couldn't stop. It was like a candy store. I got to play and borrow loads of different guitars," Fairweather Low later told 'guitar.com'. By 1965 he was with Amen Corner and moved around a lot. He also got to rub shoulders with some of the rock greats of the 1960s - including Jimi Hendrix, for whom he sang backing vocals on a record.

From Quiz Port Isaac's Fisherman's Friends

Answer: Nancy

So far, in all of the versions I am familiar with, if they mention any name, it is Nancy Blair. The lyrics used here are fairly typical of the various versions. "As I went out one morning fair, (Heave away, haul away,) Was there I met Miss Nancy Blair. (We're bound for South Australia.)" Then a little later "There was but onе thing creased me mind, (Heave away, haul away,) Must leave Miss Nancy Blair behind. (We're bound for South Australia.)" Other sets of lyrics I have seen don't name any one. Looking at recordings I have, three are from different Fisherman's Friends albums, the Clancy Brothers, the Pogues, the Dubliners, the Yetties and the Seekers all get a look in. This would suggest that Nancy has been a busy lady.

From Quiz The Fisherman's Friends are "Sole Mates"

Answer: Paradise Street

A more commonly heard version starts: "As I was a walking down Paradise Street". However here we have; "I was drunk as a skunk down on Paradise Street". We have already strayed from the upright sailor image, usually found in the refined song. Then the sailor meets with a female. The nice version runs "A pretty young damsel I chanced for to meet". Whereas here we have "a minging old strumpet I chanced for to meet". (Translation, a smelly old prostitute.) In most of the versions the lady is working for the press gang or such like and the sailor ends up as crew on a ship. In this version he merely ends up with an unpleasant disease.

From Quiz Song in My Heart

Foals were formed in Oxford in 2005, from the remnants of local bands The Edmund Fitzgerald (singer Yannis Philippakis and drummer Jack Bevan) and Face Meets Grill (guitarist Jimmy Smith and bassist Walter Gervers).

From Quiz Anatomy of a Song: "Signs"

Answer: Long-haired freaky people

"And the sign says, "Long-haired freaky people need not apply" So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why" I think the scene gets set for this song brilliantly in the first two lines. Got to love a song that makes you laugh in the first verse! Intriguingly, the hair under the hat line is repeated, almost verbatim ("I stuffed my hair up under my hat") by The Charlie Daniels Band in their 1973 song "Uneasy Rider". This author thinks that is way too much of a coincidence not to be an homage to the earlier song.

From Quiz Fitz and the Tantrums

Answer: Noelle Scaggs

Noelle Scaggs was the only female to appear on the band's first three albums. She plays the tambourine and other percussion instruments. On most songs, she provides backing vocals and/or co-lead vocals with Michael Fitzpatrick. On some songs, such as the title track of the debut album "Pickin' up the Pieces" and "The End" from the album "More Than Just a Dream" she sings some lead vocals. In concerts, she encourages the audience to participate. She's a huge part of the sound of Fitz and the Tantrums as well as a huge part of why they are so fun.
