Question 7 is incomplete. It should read

7. The Bangles, The Rolling Stones, Simon & Garfunkel, Pet Shop Boys, The Easybeats, David Bowie, Blondie

Hello LadyD and thanks for these quizzes!

I didn’t know any in Round 1, and I’m not going to do much better here, either…

4. All starred in the film ‘A Star is Born’ in its various incarnations

8. Films based on Shakespeare plays
I don’t know the first 2 (won’t Google)

Then Things I Hate About You - The Taming of the Shrew

West Side Story - Romeo and Juliet

The Lion King - Hamlet

6. John Lewis stores former names.

2. Songs with singers with place name surnames?

Cry Me a River - Julie London

Heaven is a Place on Earth - Belinda Carlisle

10. All warblers

9. Bluebell Railway

7. They have all recorded tracks with a day of the week in the title.

Crikey not easy. I did think 10 were all warblers (birds).

Ooh I love a quiz!
In no 2 are the surnames of the singers stations on the West Coast mainline?
Stumped on all the others

This is just a brief intervention from me. I was hoping to let you all get on with it, because it's always been a bad habit of mine (it's the autism I know) to panic of things like this aren't going well and chivvy people along. But I will intervene occasionally if necessary.

The questions aren't meant to be easy, but I'm hoping that you will get to the answers collaboratively, through discussion, and as with the first round there will be no restrictions on digressions and suggestions. Just let it flow. If you don't get one part then somebody else will, and the picture will emerge. You have until the New Year before I give the answers, and there will be no hints from me!

Just enjoy the challenge.

3. They are the highest mountains in their respective countries?

No 3 are they volcanos?

Notagran do you know all the songs? I thought it was Songs with mind in the title. I have checked.

7 - agree with Notagran. Don't think Blondie or The Bangles had a song with mind in the title Nadateturbe.

Hello muse.
What songs do you have in mind?
I can think only think of
Manic Monday (Bangles)
Ruby Tuesday (Stones)

Re the songs.

The Easybeats- Friday On My Mind?

Could the songs be days of the week?

nadateturbe

Notagran do you know all the songs? I thought it was Songs with mind in the title. I have checked.

There are literally hundreds of tracks with a day of the week in the title.

Bangles…Manic Monday
Stones …Ruby Tuesday
S&G…. Wednesday Morning 3am
Petshop Boys ….Thursday
Esybeats ….Friday on my mind
Bowie….. Thursdays Child
Blonde…. Sunday Girls

I checked before posting, but days of the week songs are better known ones, so I'll go with that.

nadateturbe I would be interested in seeing the tracks with ‘mind’ in the title please .It’s interesting that there might be 2 correct answers. 👏

Notagran Mine were more obscure and involved some googling. I tried again after you posted and couldn't find them. I think you're answer is better.

I might even have made a mistake with S&G 😊
