1
From young acting background he comes
But then joined a band of posh chums
When first singer went

2
Though old now their touring’s not ceased
Together they've swung once at least
There’s winter song shiver

3
A family sings as they should
With Irish mystique in their blood
A Harry by name

4
A suit maker maybe he’s not
A friend he has certainly got
He wrote for a King

5
A darling of Radio Two
She sings with voice clear and true
Her band mates are males

6
A tube at the end of the day
And guns at a school where you pay
A wedge that is red

7
A singer with lopsided hair
And two women singers who dare
Their huge Christmas hit

8
Though some of them paired they fell out
Their top album: word gets about
Those links are so strong

9
A West Midlands quartet like these
While spelling’s not their expertise
Had one mate called Stan

10
For felines it’s cold so they say
And happen in Clapham it may
With hearts that get nailed

11
Have they found the U.S.A. yet?
In New York this duo first met
One bridge had a beat

12
He sang of a Thomas in space
A lightning bolt sat on his face
From star men and ashes

13
They all had degrees from the start
When more than six seas hit the chart
At Live Aid they shone

14
She’s rotating, so she might claim
And these days she’s dropped to one name
In her head I’m stuck

15
Their lead man was born as a Scot
Though New York new wave scene’s their spot
A dwelling ablaze

16
They sang of gem that’s insane
And also of easing the pain
It’s not the light side
