Super-cool poptastic beanpole Sophie Ellis-Bextor is over 7 feet tall. At the age of 15 she was only 4ft 3" but concocted a medicine in the shed of her next door neighbour, Roald Dahl, and the rest as they say is history.

Sounds a bit of a tall story? You sure this is a fact? This may need independent verification as we can't have any old crap being posted on here.

The Blind Faith classic 'Can't find my way home' was written by Stevie Winwood as a tribute to his favourite racing pigeon Nigel, who failed to return after being released near Wakefield in 1974. Some say he lost his sense of direction due to an ear infection, but others insist he simply couldn't stand Eric Clapton and did a runner.

Surely he didn't "do a runner" but simply "winged it"?

PS Yes, I knew your name was Surely too....

Again, no idea about these ( traded in) but comes in an extra cost fitted bag.

New these are around £450, this one has an intermittent fault on the cross fader which has been looked at and could be fixed cheaply.

Cheery "It's Christmaaaas" Popsters "Slade" were formerly called "Ambrosia Slade", due to Bassist Jim Lea 's fondness of Ambrosia Creamed Rice. He ate so much of it that he carried a small dessert spoon around his neck on a chain and used to tuck into a cold can in between sets.

Is it any good for Metal?

[sub]Try as they might, that Warwick Thumb is not attracting any interest...![/sub]

Can I say I find him quite cheesy?

I thought The Stereotypes were Welsh ?

Conrad Stanislavski did not trouble the Rap Charts until he changed his name to Method Man.

Scouser Ian MacNab was working at a Winter Wonderland on the Wirrall prior to his musical career back in the 70's. Although there was fake snow, the reindeers were real and one deposited a huge pile near the entrance to Santa's Grotto. Tasked with removing this quickly, and the shovel being deployed elsewhere, he grabbed a large thick polystyrene icicle and successfully removed the dung. Turning to one of the dwarves, he commented, "Well, the Icicle Works". The rest, as they say, is history.

As Rock Stars get older they move into other associated fields. Ronnie Wood paints, Rick Wakeman and Ringo have become grumpy old men and Bob Geldof and Bono have gone into politics. Keef has taken to manufacturing snuff.
In the USA some of their iconic Bands have diversified too.
The Isley Brothers opened up a chain of Opticians who are doing very well, however not so Def Jam. Their trolley carts in Shopping Malls selling Hearing Aids and a range of Chutneys and Fruit Spreads is proving too confusing for the sophisticated US consumer.

Bluesman Walter Trout is a frequent guest of both the past and current SNP leadership.

Dr Hook and the Medicine Show have been struck off the BMA Register and will no longer be allowed to practice. Patients complained of eye tests being only partially completed with lenses being dropped onto the floor. Singer Ray Sawyer commented, "If we aren't allowed to practice, I guess we'll just have to jam all the songs"

"Oh, we're going to Barbados " Band Typically Topical are guest editing Radio 4's Today programme the first week in January 2015.

Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt has cancelled Dr and the Medic's sabbatical and scrapped their current Tour. He commented, "Given the increase in waiting times in A&E's around the country, it is vital all trained staff are fully deployed. The NHS is safe with this Government".

Funksters "Brass Construction" are calling it a day. Band Bassist Wade Williamston explained " When we started out Copper and Zinc were relatively affordable, but now spiralling commodity prices have made it uneconomical to continue".

However the falling price of oil has meant that Plastic Bertrand will be adding to their line-up and touring again.

Slightly OT I know but "People selling stuff that they do not own"...isn't that how the Bankers and Financial Sector operate worldwide?

US Hip-Hoppers "The Black Eyed P and Q's" were on a downward spiral due to their polite nature: the US public did not feel they were "ghetto" enough. Then they dropped the "Q's", William added punctuation to his name, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Thanks for that, just need to find a bucket now...!

Title says it all, I cannot fathom a way that works. I'm sure it is very simple....? Help anyone?

Rave-fave Keith Flint showed no interest in music growing up although he did have a Scouts Badge for laying and lighting fires.

Despite eating the eponymous superfood from birth, "After Midnight" Singer J J Kale died last year aged 74.

Given the critical mauling that this thread has recently endured, today's fact is more reflective and philosophical.

As Luther Vandross sang, "A house is not a home", yet I find the addition of a small practise combo helps me turn one to the other.
Indeed, looking at the components of a house in more detail, I find walls contradictory. Take Phil Spector's famous "Wall of Sound". It was made up of layers of multi-tracked instruments and voices, yet it won't support the weight of slates,roof beams or trusses.
Ironically Phil is currently closely surrounded by 2 different types of walls as he spends time in custody. The physical walls are those of a prison hospital ward and he has now lost the ability to speak too. The wall of silence he endures also afflicts Adele, who has not sung live for 3 years.
Be it a "Wall of Sound", or a wall of silence, neither can offer the ultimate support.

Well, that's put a damper on Christmas for me. Gutted I am, gutted.
