Well done Schiz - spot on - you look like you could use a nice glass of champagne 
A while ago you said you were going to have a think about setting your own link so if you have one please feel free to go ahead so long as you have read the rules first
If not I'll set a new one within the next couple of days

Thanks for the champers, Ruddles! Actually Angel did all the hard work again.
I'm off out for the next few hours but will definitely be back later with one. |

OK, here we go.

What Is Soul--Ben E King
A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall--Bryan Ferry
Actually I think this is quite hard so will give a clue. It's a music link. |

| I'll have a first guess for a change instead of piggybacking on others. Beatles Albums. Help, Rubber Soul & Hard Day's Night? |

Well done Graham! I thought that was hard but obviously not.
The first one could be Sgt Pepper as well. |

I'll take your word for it Schiz as I am not really a huge Beatles fan even though I was brought up about 12 miles from Liverpool but I have to admit they certainly changed music for the better
Anyway here's the next link
Breakfast at Tiffanys - Deep Blue Something
Magic Roundabouut - Jasper Carrott
Babycakes - Three of a Kind
Over to you for the link please

No sorry Angel not anything like that
One of the tracks is tricky because remember you could be looking for a word within a word -I'll say no more
I'll be away today and tomorrow so I'll leave people to have a further think about it and then if it still hasen't been guessed I'll post an extra track which might help you

OK I'm back and I did promise to post an extra clue but as I am feeling generous I'll post you three
Black and White - Greyhound
Red Dress - Alvin Stardust
Wake Me Up When September Ends - Green Day
Hopefully these might help you when taken with the first three clues but there again they could confuse the position even more

| Is it something to do with motor racing - Tiff Needell, car, black and white chequered flag? I can't get the Babycakes link though. |

No sorry Angel - not even close
It might help if I tell you that although there are six seperate colours mentioned in the six clues so far only one of these colours has any relevance to the link in this case - the rest are total red herrings
It might also help you if I mention that most of my live links are done at my regular Saturday night pub gigs but now and again I get asked to do them for local music festivals, local fetes and other one off special occasions and this link was put together for one of those events

It is weddings - breakfast, car, cakes, white, dress, day
Hopefully it's third time lucky |

Well done Angel - I thought you'd get it before too long
When I did it live at a wedding disco I played all six tracks and out of an audience of around 150 guests nobody guessed it until I played 'Kiss the Bride' by Elton John
Over to you to guess the fourth track - there are plenty to choose from so I'll leave it open for a few guesses and then I might have to give a further clue to narrow it down a bit

No sorry Angel it's not any of those
By way of a clue I'll tell you that the track I am looking for rather unusually contains two seperate links with weddings within the one track

No sorry Angel not the correct answer
The track you are looking for was a one hit wonder by a female artist in the 1970's

Sorry, Ruddles, none of those.

Sound of the Crowd - Human League
Stars on 45 - Starsound
Run to the Hills - Iron Maiden
We are Family - Sister Sledge?

| It's a song from the sixties, sung in a foreign language (it was in the UK chart) that you're looking for. |

Great stuff Angel - I'll relish that even though it's only lunchtime
I have to say I would never have got that last track without your clue - a very good choice
I think I'll try this one
Bad Moon Rising - Creedence Clearwater Revival
Vienna Calling - Falco
Daughter of Darkness - Tom Jones
I don't think this should be too difficult but you never can tell

Yes Angel well done - I actually made a mistake in that the first track I posted should have been the fourth track 
So now I need you to tell me what is the former first track now the fourth track
This is not easy so I may need to give you a clue but we'll see what happens

Having given this matter some thouight and having made the original mistake I feel that the track I am looking for is so obscure that I am going to have to give you a clue to point you in the right direction
The track I am looking for reached number eight in the charts in 1987 and was the only British hit for a female American soul singer who was formerly a backing vocalist for Gloria Estefan

I'll have to admit defeat with this one, Ruddles. I've drawn a total blank.
I'm going on holiday for 10 days from tomorrow so hope someone will have cracked it before I get back. |
