Depeche Mode
Yazoo.
And half of Erasure, obviously.
C Z - I was trying to refer that C McK was someone from here that had made it big. I like Capercaillie, they're pretty quiet now, and have respect for Karen Mathieson and what she's done since, great collaboration with James Grant e.g. -- think my words taken wrong way..
Carshalton's finest, just down the road from Sutton

Whitetown
But I liked Bivouac and The Beyond back in the day.
That's all I can think of from the Motherland. 😀
Mud!? Embarrassing?? First album I owned 😆
Oh, I forgot Ian Dury. He even wrote a song about my hometown.
Ian Dury was top notch
Quireboys? Bit of a funny one this one, local press seem to think they're local. Wikipedia seems to think Newcastle! (Only a few hundred miles up the A1)
The Runrig and Daniel O'Donnell reference is funny. Our youth worker at school (who was a top bloke) was the worlds biggest Runrig and Daniel O'Donnell fan in the mid 90s!
Rick f-in Astley.
Bee Gees? my ex-neighbour moved into their old house - 50 St Catherine's Drive - subject title of Robin's last album...
Quadrant park and music in the same sentence .... too many Persian rugs about at the time
@bikebouy. Small world. Cancer are old mates of mine. All the bands from the area used to hang out together. In fact they are back together again and touring. Only Shane from ND is from Broseley but he used to be in a band with Mitch called Unseen Terror from Broseley who influenced a lot of grindcore bands later. I wouldn't exactly say that any of these bands are embarrassing though. If you want embarrassing bands from the area look no further than T'Pau!

It clearly say London?
Lindisfarne
Cheryl Cole
The Toy Dolls
the only famous musician i could find from devizes is simon may.
i think he did a soap opera theme song or something? i don't dislike his stuff i have to add (but have no interest in soaps).
there have been plenty of bands good/bad played in devizes though including some famous ones beatles/stones e.t.c.
p.s i play guitar terribly will that count 😀
Anyone remember Terrace? Darlings on the NME for a brief moment.
Non embarassing local bands the Manics, Reptile Ranch, The Oppressed (well one of their drummers)
About 200 yards from my house:
