+plasmafamily Posted March 21, 2008 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
+kennamatic Posted March 22, 2008 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

I've got a sneaking feeling that on Wizard's "I Wish It Could Be Chrismas Every Day" they used a choir from Roy Woods kids school so I'll guess that his son was one of them but no idea of his name.

+rutson Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Kids are playing the Simpsons game ATM so I'll guess at Homer and Bart on "Do the Bart-man"? Quote

No, this father and son will be known by name. Kids are playing the Simpsons game ATM so I'll guess at Homer and Bart on "Do the Bart-man"? Fraid not. They are real people.

+Simply Paul Posted March 25, 2008 Author Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) Oh, I bet it's that "Hey hey Matthew, what can you see" thing from the early 90's. I used the Guinness book of British Hit Singles: Karel (and Matthew) Fialka - Hey Matthew. It got to number 9 in September '87 Rereads the question, and goes away, quietly.

No, but definitely in the right area. Ringo Starr & his son who's also a drummer, think he played with The Who for a while. Quote
+MartyBartfast Posted March 26, 2008 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

+kennamatic Posted March 26, 2008 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.... Quote
SlytherinAlex Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 What was the name of the song that got Ringo and Zak a Number One UK hit single and when did it make No.1 ?? a. Quote
+kennamatic Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 What was the name of the song that got Ringo and Zak a Number One UK hit single and when did it make No.1 ?? a. No, the title of the song and the name of the "group". I'll let you off the year! Quote
+The Bongtwashes Posted March 26, 2008 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

(1pt) Just the name of the group and possibly the name of the mum/son combo from Q3. If no-one has the answers by mid-day tomorrow I'll give the answers and the points will be as they are now. Quote

Wasn't it a fund raiser for the Hillsborough disaster fund, I think they called themselves "The Kop" or something similar. I now know the real names of Mrs Pidgeon & Junior but I googled it so I'll keep it to myself Quote
