But surely googling is just using one's initiative :D

I have to be honest and say I have no idea for any of the questions, but I shall do some research and know for next time I hear these questions - you never know when Chris Tarrent will call!!

3./ Marillion / Fish

Still looking through the books for the first one cause its not anywhere in my head.
Author:  Direct Auto's (UK) [ Sat Jan 19, 2008 5:09 pm ]
Post subject: 
Not in any books either but i think it was one of the Beatles,

So i'me going to say George Harrison.
Author:  Jolly Green Giant [ Sat Jan 19, 2008 5:15 pm ]
Post subject: 
It was Paul McCartney.

He wrote "Woman" for Peter and Gordon,
and wanted to prove he could write a hit without his
famous name being attached to it.

It reached just inside the top 30 (no. twenty eight) in 1966.

:(


PS other 2 answers are correct.
well done.

Well JGG,

You've got me a bit here, :oops:

All i can gather without googling is that they released a song about him (White Ladder). :?:

Had to phone my Father in the UK and all he knows was that maybe he was a World War 2 hero.

You will have to enlighten me.
