drops_of_jupiter Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Living near the heart of London I could reel of a long list so I'll narrow it down. I live in an area on the outskirts of london called Hertfordshire. So we have:The Spice Girls - I know a couple of them come from here-the blonde one came to our house to buy a cat from us. I was psyched when she came over. Madness - I think they're from here anyway-my brother was building an extension on the lead singers' house at one point. Paul Young - Lives up my road, is my friends uncle.Deep PurpleThe Zombies There may be more! So shoot with yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddergascar Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Hmm. Biggest band to come out of York? Shed Seven, best known for acoustic ballad "chasing rainbows." That's all going to change soon though, once I get a bassist and drummer that will do what I tell them to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
