That was a trickier one, @Mi-Amigo - not too hot on the British Punk scene in the 70s, it seems - possibly more of a metal-head back then, the local sound crowd were called Stratocaster Disaster Area, says a lot 🤣

Well done all, and your Isle of Wight one fitted the theme to a tee! 😄

[BobM]

Thanks @Mi-Amigo - Good one 👍

Great turnout of quizzers this time too, good to see.

Well done all.

[TallTrees]

Wooden spoon as expected. 😄

Do remember Cilla always mentioned Bobby her husband. 😊

Only knew Hurricane Higgins 🙄

Thanks for the quiz @Mi-Amigo 

I award myself the grand order 🤣🤣
