7 Alan Sunderland
8 Chesterfield

So the theme is English towns perhaps?

1. Dover

2. Jayne Mansfield 4. The Vicar of Wakefield 6. Sir Francis Chichester

How thick am I???? I don't know ANY of them!

1. Jane Mansfield I think

3. The Winchester Club 6. Francis Chicester 7. Alan Sunderland

So we are looking for an American soul singer who has the same name as an English town !

GillW, I think you're right about the theme so could the answer to 9 be Billy Preston?

Don't see how the 'New Deal' fits in though.

Just got the lyric. It's the Jarrow song.

nerdgirl - "Deal" is a town in Kent!

Deal is an English town.

DP just confirmed Billy Preston.

Thanks GillW, English geography is never going to be my Mastermind specialist subject!

mum2toby - don't worry, I only knew two of these but luckily the other team members knew a few more between them! What about the lyric and anagram anyone? Same theme.

I pride myself on my general knowledge but HATE pub quizzes ... can never do them!!!!

Fionn, the lyric is definitely "The Jarrow Song" but I haven't a clue about the anagram.

The anagram has been bugging me - nearest I can get is Weston-Super-Mare, but to be that it would have to be RENEWS MOUSETRAPS, not RENEWED MOUSETRAPS.

Gillw, I thought Weston Super Mare too and came to the same conclusion, that either I was wrong or Fionn typed it wrong. I gave up in the end and thought I'd wait for someone else to get it and put me out of my misery!

Yes I'm very sorry. I typed in the anagram wrong!
