Mixed Bag Quiz C/d 30Th June

[saintstim]

Completely stuck on two.
Football team--Detectives need them.
Pop anagram--Hey sing so rotten.
Thanks for any help

[JJ109]

football team - LEEDS

[saintstim]

Thanks JJ109. I was looking for Clewes or something like that!

[fiction-factory]

Is that anagram definitely right?
Is it one group or two?
I can see Genesis or The Stone Roses but nothing using all teh letters.
If you can confirm the letters I'll have another think

[JJ109]

You're welcome Saintstim - thanks for B/A

[Mamyalynne]

I've emailed the setters re the anagram and received no response.

[fiction-factory]

Is there a choir or something called The Toon Singers?

[saintstim]

Hi fiction-factory. Yes it is how it is on the quiz sheet but it has me baffled.
Thanks for trying.

[Mamyalynne]

We do try and sometimes we fail.

[fiction-factory]

Sorry - would have to be The Toony Singers

[fiction-factory]

Or ...The Snooty Singer

[Jackdaw33]

Could it be a song title?

[Mamyalynne]

In this section there are 10 anagrams - 9 have been artists either solo or groups.

[fiction-factory]

If the Y shouldn't be in the anagram (He sing so rotten) then it gives an anagram of a song by Jeff Buckley

[fiction-factory]

There is also a Danish indie rock band of that name so it may be worth checking with the setter whether the Y is an error

[Mamyalynne]

emailed setter, no reply - given up

[fiction-factory]

You can't do any more, Mamyalynne. I'm pretty confident there is a mistake. If the Y is wrong then this Danish group or the song title seem rather obscure- were the other anagram answers similarly obscure or very well known artists?

[Mamyalynne]

All well know either solo artists or groups.

[Mamyalynne]

^ well known

[fiction-factory]

Have you heard back from the setter yet, Mamyalynne, following your query?

[Mamyalynne]

I added a note when I emailed my answers to say that I had emailed with no response.

They said they would take that into consideration when marking the entry.

Will report back when the answer is in.
