After a month of serious brain racking the only track from that era I can come up with is
'Don't Call Me Baby' by MADISON Avenue
I remembered that only because I used to have a Siamese cat whose name was 'Baby' and every time that track came on the radio she used to think that someone was calling her

Hi Ruddles
You've got it at last 
Sorry for the delay in replying - I've been away in Madeira, so you can have some virtual Madeira wine instead of champagne for a change |

Thanks Angel - hope you had a great holiday - funnily enough I played the track 'Don't Call Me Baby' by 'Voice of the Beehive' as part of my live link last Saturday - but I won't say any more as I might want to use it on here in the future
Anyway here's the next link - not too difficult I suspect
Fire - The Crazy World of Arthur Brown'
Stand and Deliver - Adam and the Ants'
If Not For You - Olivia Newton John
Whats the link please?

Any chance of a clue with this one, Ruddles? I'm really stumped.  |

Well Angel it might help you to think about a well known guitarist in a band from the Britpop era who had many hits - I've just remembered I must buy some new shoes tomorrow - just plain black leather ones will do - not those silly blue ones
Oh and whilst strictly speaking this does not form part of the actual link I think the following track might help you
'Crash The Wedding - Busted
Actually two clues in one in you think hard enough about it

| Still struggling here. Britpop means (to me) The Smiths, Oasis, Blur, Manics, Suede, Verve but I can't think of too many guitarists from that lot which fit the clues. |

Well Schiz - think about it - remember I was talking about getting some new shoes - proper leather ones rather than those blue ones - so from that you can probably deduce that I was referring to 'Blue Suede Shoes' so Suede was the Britpop band I was talking about
So now you need to work out the name of the guitarist who was a member of Suede and then think where you might have heard that name before - in something you've probably watched on TV
That name will fit in with the other clues

| Yes, I thought it was Suede from your shoes clue. Bernard Butler is/was Suede's guitarist so it's probably On The Buses. Trouble is I don't know any names from On The Buses apart from Blakey (without googling). |

You've got it Schiz - the actual link is characters in the TV series 'On The Buses' so well done
It's fairly obvious which character will be referred to in the fourth track in the link but there are very many tracks that fit the link so feel free to fire away with any guesses

Sorry Schiz and Angel - all great guesses and as I expected you've got the right character
It might help you if I tell you that the track I am looking for was released in the 1970s by an artist who was well known for many hits in the sixties

Well done Schiz - a fairly dreadful Eurovision song back in the days when we used to win quite regularly
She did have many big hits in the late sixties - the best known probably being 'Come Back and Shake Me' and 'Goodnight Midnight- and the records show that she was the biggest selling female artist of 1969
Anyway enough of this music trivia - down your virtual glass of champagne and it's over to you for the next link

Thanks Ruddles. To get the answer I consulted an excellent book I have with every top twenty since 1954. I browsed through the 70s and luckily the song was near the beginning, around 70/71 I think.
Will come up with a new one tomorrow. |

You're dead right Schiz - I'm really struggling on this one
I was thinking along the lines Love, Eagle, Nelson - sporting terms but I can't see where the second track fits in so I'll have to have a rethink

Sorry Rudds, it's not sporting terms.
The link is names of people who work together. |

Two weeks on I'm still completely stumped by this one Schiz - any chance of a further clue

Sorry Schiz but I just cannot work out this one
Are you saying the link is with an organisation based near where you live in Sussex because I can't think of any well known ones based in that area apart from the RSPCA in Horsham - are we talking a well known one which the rest of us would have heard of

Sorry Rudds, I meant not far from here, as in this forum.
Which means that Graham is indeed correct, well done.
The final one contains a current R2 presenter. It doesn't take (clue there) much to get the song and the artists. |

| Some good guesses there, but not the right one. One of the names is correct but it's a different artist. |

I've practically given the answer already!
What does it take to find out who sang a song of that title? |

Well Schiz - I imagine you're talking about a track by Take That but I just can't think of any of their tracks which links with the name of a R2 presenter
Can anyone help?

No Rudds, nothing to do with Take That.
The song is from the late 60s by a Motown group who share a name with a Radio 2 presenter. |

It took a while for the penny to drop but glad I got there in the end
I'm going to go with a new type of link I haven't used on here before - I reckon either it will go instantly or it could hang around for quite a while but I will provide clues if necessary -so get your brains in gear on this one
Cathy's Clown - Everly Brothers
Ooh Ah Just A Little Bit - Gina Gee
Goodbye To Jane - Slade
Best of Luck

It's certainly not gone instantly Ruddles!
I'm still thinking about it . What's the 'new type' of link? |

This is a music link Schiz - although obviously I regularly use music tracks to create links of all kinds this particular link is connected with a musical artist or artists - rather like the one you did a while ago about the Beatles
Don't really know what made me think about it - I suppose I was just rather bored being stuck in a massive traffic jam on the M6 just outside Carlisle a few months ago

Well Done Schiz - you clearly took the clue as you probably know the way my mind works by now
So if you've Googled it no doubt you will know the name I am looking for in the fourth track - not an easy one though
