As a change from map reading try this.

I am looking for a person, place or event of a topical nature.

There are 9 clues which comprise song or album titles. The number of letters/numbers in the titles is shown with the release date but the date may not be completely accurate depending on what sauce is used so take this as a guide and no rearing up.

A common theme runs through and I would have liked to highlight the position of the relevant word in bold but this new site is not letting me do it.

The titles lead to a group or artiste(e) and the first letter of the act is what we are looking for to identify our elusive target. "The" is silent in the acts but not the titles.

Emoji hints could relate to the act or title and are randomly listed.


10 6 7 (1967)
3 4 3 (1979)
5-6 3 (1993)

4 2 5 (1983)
6 5 4 (1975)
4 3 5 5 (2005)
3 2 4 2 3 6 (1965)
5 2 (2000)
4 7 (1970)

Mr Ballz makes the first precision pass. 👏


Fields is worth bearing in mind.

I think I have the answer to the 'Elusive Target' but I have no answers to the individual clues so I won't reveal as it would be unfair on others who are trying to work them out
