Can you name the artists ?

No cheating.

Knipples · 17-04-2009, 20:22

Paul McCartney, Boy George, Imani? The bloke from Erasure, Bananarama? Sinita and Tiffany, Brian May, Kim Wilde, Hot Chocolate bloke? Jimmy Sommerville?

Thats as many as I got without cheating, recognised more faces, just didnt know the names, and the ones with the question marks are where im not sure.

Belmit · 17-04-2009, 20:26

Got about 50% I reckon.

Sir Thumbsaloft (including brief cameo from the thumbs themselves!)
Boy George
Bananarama
The Knopf
Lead singer of Erasure, Andy something?
Kim Wilde
Mel n Kim?
Kate Bush
Errol thingy from Hot Chocolate
Al Green?
Bonnie Tyler
Erm... was that Sam Fox?!

Couple more I recognised but couldn't name... OK, maybe less than 50%!

Feek · 17-04-2009, 20:36

Yes, Mel and Kim are there - So are Level 42 (or at least Mark King).

/edit - Ooo, all the hairs on my arms stood up with Kat Bosch started singing. Also looks like one of the Grange Hill kids there as well.

And spotted Hazel O'Connor and I think some of the Nolan Sisters were there in the group at the end?

Think people have got more than I would! I remember that day, and my brother remembers it very well as he was on the same ferry the previous day. Somewhere I should still have the vinyl single.

Desmo · 17-04-2009, 21:46

Did I see a flash of that guy who did the Levis ad in the laundrette? Wasn't he a singer also?

Garp · 17-04-2009, 22:26

Ahh.. the great Gary Moore and the Knopf on guitar solo duties

Figure the Knopf from the very first sign of an electric guitarist finger picking. Not many famous ones of those.
I think I spotted Alvin Stardust in the group?

Wow, Ferry Aid. Blast from the past! My uncle died in that god-forsaken thing and my Dad changed shifts - he was meant to be on it.

Bonnie *gravelly voiced woman* Looking for a Hero I think was her most famous song.
