ADDITIONAL CLUEAGE


1. Ought to be a penalty kick. This is not a clue. Mr Ballz knows the answer but will not poke it in. :( That is not a clue either. Surprised nobody has reached the elusive journey's end.

2. The toughest question IMHO. The song title we need is from 1970 and is also the name of an American group. The song lyrics also include the name of a recent former City creative player

3. & 6 Only three words needed to solve this pair.

RECAP

We are looking for 11 bands/singers and the title of one of their singles. A point for each act and a point for each song title.

The number of words and letters in the song titles are provided. For singers the surname is your focus.

Cryptic narrative to help on the journey relating to the act, song or it’s lyrics

Taking one letter from each singer/act will lead you to an ECFC person, event or location. 5 points for that.

Give question number with your answers please.

2. The toughest question by far. The song title we need is from 1970 and is also the name of an American group. The song lyrics include the name of a recent former City creative player, Argyle thought processes and you can’t stake your life on it.

I didn't know that it is a singer with a surname beginning A-E. Not that it helps.

No it is a deceased male singer for Q2

Ryan Harley is not the City link as he is made up of 10 letters and the correct answer is made up of 11 letters.
