Q Tips. Paul Young was in this band once.
I know someone who went to nightclub, went upstairs and saw a group playing, did not think much of them, and went back downstairs again. He asked the bartender who the group was. The reply was "Pink Floyd". "Who the hell are they?" was the reply to that.

I was wondering around London years ago and heard a band busking called the Gutter Brothers. I know it's a daft name, but they were amazing and had a kind of skiffle/jazz/punk/rock n roll fusion sound. Anyway I loved it, bought a tape, saw 'em in a couple of other places. Then they turned up on telly doing the music for a tv drama called "Gone to the Dogs". Ok, so they were semi-famous for 5 minutes, but I think it still counts, doesn't it?
i saw John Denver at a Peter Paul and Mary show--thet did his song Leaving on a Jet Plane
