Answer: Glasgow

 Wet Wet Wet are from Clydebank, Glasgow.
2. What is lead singer Marti Pellow's real name?

Answer: Mark McLoughlin

 Reginald Dwight is of course Elton John, David Jones is David Bowie and Gordon Sumner is Sting.
There are conflicting spellings of Mark's surname - I took mine from the Guinness World Records "British Hit Singles" book.
3. What was their first UK number one?

Answer: With A Little Help From My Friends

 It was of course, the cover version of "With A Little Help From My Friends", originally done by The Beatles. The song on the B side of this single was Billy Bragg singing "She's Leaving Home", with all the proceeds going to the charity Childline.
4. How many weeks was their cover of "Love Is All Around" at number one for in the UK charts?

 In May 1994, "Love is All Around" topped the UK singles list for an incredible 15 weeks, finally being knocked off the top spot by Whigfield's "Saturday Night".

Answer: Goodnight Girl

 "Goodnight Girl" was a number one in January 1992. This single was on the album "High On The Happy Side".
6. Which Beatles song did Wet Wet Wet cover in 1997?

Answer: Yesterday

 Unfortunately this only made it as high as number four on the UK singles chart - wasn't a number one for The Beatles either, which is strange because it's an amazing song.

Answer: Edinburgh

 Wet Wet Wet performed at "The Final Push" in Edinburgh on 6 July 2005. I was lucky enough to get tickets, and it was amazing.

The name "Wet Wet Wet" came from a Scritti Politti song, "Gettin, Havin' And Holdin'".
9. Which film was the number one "Love Is All Around" featured in?

Answer: Four Weddings and Funeral

 It was of course "Four Weddings and a Funeral". If you haven't seen the film, I highly recommend it. The song "Love Is All Around" was also featured in the film "Love Actually", although it was called "Christmas Is All Around".
10. In what city did "Wet Wet Wet" perform and bring in the New Year of 2007?
