The local(ish) bands.

Pick a band/singer who at least one member was born within 20 miles of the Essex Riveria. Essex only please, so no Rolling Stones who hail from Kent.

Artists that currently come to mind are;

Dr Feelgood
Depeche Mode
Yazoo
Alison Moyet
Kursaal Flyers
My Life Story

A yellow card will be issued to any poster who cites support of our glorious team as a reason to vote! This is about the music!

Can't see this being huge, so first 8 entries. Winner gets a hot date with Uncle Ken McNasty, bring your own kebabs.
 
This could get painful. Damn my good ideas :hilarious:

1) Kursaal Flyers - Napster.
 
These New Puritans

Suprised to find that none of the original Procul Harum were born in Southend although BJ Wilson was brought up here.
 
Curses, Underworld (Darren Emerson) just 4 miles too far.

Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip are within 20 miles. :smile:
 
Talk Talk is another one

who from Talk Talk is local?

Ceephax Acid Crew for me. I assume Chelmsford is within your 20 mile radius.

2) Ceefax Acid Crew - Pubes

1) Kursaal Flyers - Napster
2) Ceephax Acid Crew - Pubes
