Local Music Quiz

[queencharlotte]

All the four remaining answers I need will be male singers or male groups, pop or classical.
Pop group entertainment before fifty-one once (5)
Simpleton fish (6,3)
O for M1 in Blackfriar (8)
He can give me a cod (7)

Please can anyone help with any of them. Thank you.

[fiction-factory]

I am sure the "He can give me a cod" one caused lots of problems a few months ago. You can do a search on AB to find the threads

2 Simply red

3 (Val) Doonican

[fiction-factory]

Previously details have been given about where the answers must come alphabetically as they were in alphabetical order. Is that still the case with this quiz? I recall the cod one came between Caruso and Crosby

[davegosling]

I'm thinking that the first one should end in 'LI', as in fifty-one in Roman numerals.

[fiction-factory]

The group EXILE sort of works for the first one although the I and L are the wrong way round

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Is there a group called Gigli anywhere? GIG - LI

[Calibax]

Beniamino Gigli was an Italian opera singer

[fiction-factory]

Gigli will be right. I recall the answers were generally classical.
I can't work out Doonican yet from the clue

[Calibax]

^Dominican with MI replaced by O

[fiction-factory]

Thanks Captain

[queencharlotte]

Thank you everyone for your briliant answers; you are all clever/devious! Thank you Bakers Dozen and Calibax for Gigli, thank you Cashier for Simply Red and thank you Cashier for (Val) Doonican. As Fiction-Factory says, the "he can give me a cod" answer will start after BI but before CA.
Really grateful to you all.

[fiction-factory]

I recall something like caedmon being given for the last one but if it's an anagram there is no N

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Just a thought I know that my grandson calls the game Call of Duty COD. Does that give anyone ideas.

[fiction-factory]

Yes Bakers Dozen- I remember spending some time going down that avenue (culdesac?) a couple of months ago. There's loads of music used in COD but nothing in particular and nothing that would fit here as far as I could see

[fiction-factory]

I recall there was a male opera/musicals singer who got married at Cape Cod but that's a bit tenuous. Was it BochelI

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Thanks for update fiction-factory. It's a bit of a stinker this one.

[fiction-factory]

I did wonder whether clue should say CODE

[fiction-factory]

Bocelli fits alphabetically but he married last time in Italy. We did find someone who married in Cape Cod
