You could have included Status Quo and Busted! Rick Parfitt and Matt Willis are both from Woking. Also, my googling hasn't been able to confirm this but I think Sheep On Drugs might also be from around that neck of the woods. I certainly remember a bazillion posters in the underpass under Woking Station when I was a yoof.

ah yes Sheep on Drugs who had to suffer the indignity of having their name shortened to Sheep on the Chart Show.

Not that they'd have won I guess.

I thought they were from Merton Park, name being the clue and all that.

I suppose that's in Surrey rather than London, I guess.

Yep, the London Borough of Merton used to be part of Surrey.

Yes, I was thinking of The Cure.

More of an ILE question than an ILM one (but its not worth starting a new thread):
Is there anything of interest near-ish Camberley?
