The Bullshitters. Not 100% sure, but my sister had that and a few of the others on tape years ago. Loved Five Go Mad In Dorset.

On a roll! Don't try and stop me!

Which band took its name from the working title of With A Little Help From My Friends? John Lennon wanted to call them Glass Onion, but they said no, ta, Johnny boy.

I believe that's right: WALHFMF was called Bad Finger Boogie at one point.

Correct. Bad Finger Boogie it was. Sounds like something Jools Holland might write.

I presume DrJ gets the point since he more accurately answered the question. We all look forward to one of his headscratchers.

That's very magnanimous but you got it right Martin, as the question looked for the name of the band.

Such gentlemanly conduct, why can't we act like a normal message board:
Y wuz emme kikd out of teh bb house, she wuz da best!!!!!11111 etc.etc.

I served Tony Hadley a few times when the Spands were tax exiles in Dublin. Nice guy, though he never confided in me the answer to this question. So, DrJ, you must try harder!

Spandau is in the north-west of Berlin, site of the famous prison where Hess, as alluded to by Dr J, was interned. Spandau Ballet is a metaphor for the end of the bleakness of the cold war and historical paralysis of WWII, dancing out of the prison, so to speak. God knows, obviously there's a more coherent reason.

I'm sure I've heard the answer to this but have not retained it in my seive-like brain. Was it a code name or something?
