FL - I'll accept your response on Hanoi Rocks but definitely I'd take another look at Yello.

[FattyLumpkin]

Book source said Sweden, but the all-knowing Wiki (and other webby sites) agrees with you.

Bow wow : USA

[Columbo]

Roger Whittaker...believe he was born in Kenya...

how old am I???

[FattyLumpkin]

Hmmm - more Bow Wow's you can shake a stick at. This group I believe changed its name to Vow Wow in '84.

As For Roger Whittaker - yep, you are showing your age Columbo, but the grey matter seems to be functional! RW - born in Kenya, moved to Sth Africa, thence to Wales & was big in Northern Ireland & France before hitting it off in England. Any of them would have done, but congrats on the birthplace. Begs the question - how did you know!!??

Im not that old though...not yet anyways!! (im 32)
How did I Know?? My dad was a fan of his music, got a couple of LP's at floating around somewhere at home, think it was probably just one of those stupid bits of trivia that i have retained over the years....pity i cant ever remember things i need to know..like due dates for bills!!!!
