Ballroom. North Dublin kinda ???

Liamo,

Couple of showbands for you to unscramble.

No 1 has two words
No 2 has one word

(1) Reap Crill Not PC

(2) F Mr Sheen

Barry

Barry,

Clipper Carlton

Freshmen

Liamo,

Barry

Laimo,

Mavis Thongy

Barry

Morning Barry,

Mighty Avons ;D

Morning Liamo,

Well done. I quite liked that one.

We had great fun here imagining what old Mavis mght look like !!

Barry

Mavis and Rita.

This is a showband.  One word.

Eat As Drug.

Hogging this arent you two?
OK heres mine. One word.

RENT REINS

Ah Ernie. Sure it's the Trenniers 8)

Show off!!!
Right, how many pints is that I owe you now?

I told you I don't drink so you can send the money instead. ;D

You DONT drink!!!
How do you survive? Everybody has to drink.Dont you mean alcohol? No problem,I`ll just have to drink your share (the things we do for friends). ::)

You're TOO kind ::)

I know, I know!! but what else can I do?

There's an anagram lost there.
It's a showband. One word.

Eat As Drug.

Graduates?

Ernie,

Good one. Must confess I was stumped by that one.

Slightly different approach.

Showband.

Clue: The Genuine Article. (Three words. (3) (4) (5))

Barry

I was thinking of that earlier Barry.

The Real McCoy

liamo et al,

How about this. (clue) You'll find this band at the Airport.
One word (8)

To simplify matters with this type of clue, we should omit "The" and "Showband" from the answers eg The Royal Showband would simply be "Royal"

What do you think ?

Barry

Hi All.

One of those bloody smileys covered the amount of letters in the answer.

8 Letters.

Barry

Is anyone else going to answer this one before I do?

Away with ya. That's ok Barry. We'll leave out the The and Showband.

Arrivals

Trisha,

Nice one Trisha. Your turn .

Barry

Just an easy one....Omitting 'The' & 'Showband' (4 & 4) - CUE BALES

Blue Aces?

I told ya it was easy! Your turn :)

I'll have to go and think ???

Thats It !!!
we wont hear from him for a while, hes got to find his other brain cell (lost through years of drink while in a showband, or so he says) ;D ::)

So that's funny is it :-[ If you had to search for your other brain cell you wouldn't think so ;D Anyway, I won't remember where or how I lost it til I find it ;D

Band. One word....Sever Ned

Ya see, the lost cell hadn't clicked in. The above should read  TWO WORDS.

(1) REDSEVEN
(2) RED SEVEN
Just in case you decided to excerise that new-found brain cell . I give you (1) one word (2) two words.

Evening all,

Out of turn but what the hell.

This one might get you thinking.

She graduated to be the Queen of a unique Showband.
(5) (5)

Barry

Is it her name or the band name we are looking for?

Is it: Sheba Kelly
(Kelly = Graduate, Sheba =Queen, Unique = All women band)

Trishs

Well done

It's January and I've no bloody gigs, that's how I have the time to come up with these things.

Barry

Liamo,

That's it. Pity there wasn't an Oklahoma showband, We could have had great fun between those two bands.

Note to self: "Get Out More" !!

Barry

Chloe Brats - more boyband than showband!

and last for this PM - who were the DINER SIX LEADS showband????

Hi Whistle! Looks like you got one too then!!

Answers: 1. Batchelors  2. Dixielanders  ;D

P.S. Not sure about the 't' in the 'boyband's' name though...

The RUM one would be ;DLucky Numbers ;D

Come again with that one Liamo.... ???

Why??? Whistle had Buckleys'n'rum.
That's Lucky Numbers. OK.

Apologies Liamo, I thought you were setting another anagram.. :-/

Here's one.

One word.... Red First.

Band;;;;;; Stock Bald

. . . . . Black Dots . . . . .

Another band:

       Stains

yeh. I'm out.

Morning all,

Something slightly different.

How many words (4 letters or more) can you harvest from Colm Wilkinson ?

This is just a bit of fun so we won't get bogged down in rules and restrictions. You can use the letters as many times as you like and plurals are ok, so for example, Stone and Stones are fine.

Away you go

Barry

Liamo,

Might be a good idea not to post our solutions for say, 3 days in order to give everyone a crack at it.

Then we can see who comes up with the most words.

What do you think ?

Barry

Good idea. Will I delete that??

Liamo,

Good idea. Then we can all start from scratch. I see you have a few 3 letter words in there.  I think 4 letters or more is a bit more challenging.

What do you think ?

Barry

I forgot about the 4 letter words.  (FOUR LETTER WORD >:()

Liamo,

On reflection I didn't give this enough thought, too few vowels.
At first I thought he spelled hs name Wilk(E)nson which would have yielded a lot more.

But not to worry "We've statrted so we'll " etc,.Maybe there's a singer out there called Zozimus Q Feathersonehaugh!!  

We'd have great fun with HIM !!

Barry

Hi... Can I make a suggestion..... that you start a new thread for this 'word game'? :-/

Hi Trisha,

Didn't think it was 'off topic' and frankly I was getting a bit bored with the anagrams. But having said that the thread is "Anagrams" so your'e perfectly right.

Barry

I think there was an anagram missed in the rush. In it's un-anagrammed form it would be "Saints" :D

Yes it is ..and thanks! ;)

Band....Charm Son

Answer: Monarchs

Correct. Fire Away

Morning All,

Find More Drone. (anag)     Singer (Male)  (6)  (7)



Barry

The anagram of the second part is Ronnie Medford.

Still sudying the anagram of the first part ;D

Morning Barry

An anagram seems to have gone missing. It was here earlier today ???

I think it was:
                   My Heart Ron .... (Female Singer)

And I still can't get it ???

Any clues?

Ok...I'm not that mean - (5 & 5)

At last..............Terry Mahon.



A Showband Hit.....Bould Tom Lar.

They're not either. Strange how they were this morning ;D

Liamo..... What's that all about? Keep on taking the medicine!! :P

another anagram for yiz, this was big hit for an Irish singer (but not a showband hit)

STYLER, KING OF HIVE-LAND (3-5-2-10)

any clues on this one, liamo?  someone put up Old Man Trouble as the answer but it was gone in two seconds! they must be due a visit to  specsavers.
should there be a rule that new ones don't get posted until older ones have been solved?  or am I just a spoilsport?

Luap. See my post following Whistle. It was supposed to be Old Man Trouble!!!!. It was this morning but my eyes are open now :-[

Whistle, the answer to your one is:

All Kinds Of Everything

Liamo... You really do need to go to Specsavers...(or I do)..You don't have a post following 'Whistle'...  :-/

I did have but obviously Whistle removed his 8)

[quote author=liamo link=1168379444/105#117 date=1168901023]Luap. See my post following Whistle. It was supposed to be Old Man Trouble!!!!. It was this morning but my eyes are open now :-[/quote]

Yeah, I put Old Man trouble up, but realised it didn't match so I pulled it down again.
Trisha is just too quick on the solutions. I thought it would take while to get Dana.

It would have taken me a long while :-[

Hi liamo,jeffrey here,barry's son,i was just wondering if you could post something on the showband site letting everyone know the sad news about my father,he was a wonderful musician and one the finest bass players this country has ever seen and he loved his chats and discussions on the site,and as one of his closest friends on the site my mother(noreen) who you know,ask me to ask you !! thanks and talk soon please god! jeffrey.
