+plasmafamily Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 It is the first sunday, after the first Paschal full moon after the 21st March. The church has a list of dates for which full moons are given, even though they don't correspond entirely with what you see in the sky so that everyone throughout the world has a "full moon" at the same time. The church has used 21st March as the Spring Equinox since 325a.d. a date chosen by the Council of Nicaea. Ding, over to you Quote Link to comment
+kennamatic Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Thanks. Three part question. 1) (Easy) Who were the first father and daughter to get to number 1 in the UK charts duetting on the same record. (1 point in total for both their names plus 1 point for the song title.) [Total - 2 points] 2) (Medium) Who were the first father and son to reach number 1 in the UK charts singing on the same record. (Names - 1 point each, the title of the song - 1 point, and the group within which they were appearing - 1 point. [Total 4 points] 3) (Hard) Who were the first mother and son to reach number 1 in the UK charts. ( I would like their names - 2 point each, but, if it proves too difficult without googling, and make sure you don't!, I'll just take the group name - 2 point and the title of the song - 1 point.) [Total 7 points] Ding to the person who gets the most points! Quote Link to comment

+MartyBartfast Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 If its Ringo then I can only imagine it's a band aid single or something like that? Don't remember him playing on any kind of no. 1 otherwise. Ness. I was thinking maybe the son had sung on one of the Beatles hits as a boy. I'd also thought about Band Aid but thinking through the video I couldn't visualise any father/son combos. M: Quote Link to comment

+kennamatic Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Oi it was me that said Ringo Starr Yes, it was. Have 1pt. I plead stupidity due to reading the logs on the reply page which are in reverse order! His name's Zak Starkey (I think) Correct Keehotee. Have 1pt I think Marty is in an unassailable lead (I should start working on your next question), but let's be neat and tidy. What was the song and "group". You've got as far as it being a collective charity record and there weren't that many that reached number 1! Of course, if anyone does know the mum and son in Lieutenant Pigeon....

+The Bongtwashes Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Was the song "You'll Never Walk Again Alone"? I'm sure Gerry Marsden did it as a charity record, so Ringo and Zak may have been on it as Scousers. Quote Link to comment
