Blimey. I didn't know that either Rob. More trivia, the singer from Alabama 3, Nick Reynolds...his dad was Bruce Reynolds, the mastermind behind the great train robbery.

I’ve seen the Alabama 3 a few times. An absolute riot of a night out.
Notwithstanding their ‘interesting’ political views it’s good to see one of them is following in his old man’s footsteps in sticking it to the capitalist man

I didn't know either. I do know Duran Duran comes from a character in Barbarella. Also, T'Pau was the name of a Vulcan in Star Trek. Neither quite so horrific.

Uriah Heep took their name from a character in Charles dickens' novel David Copperfield (using dickens' character names for bands would become something of a trend with Mott the Hoople and Jethro Tull).

Thompson twins (actually three in the band) got their name from the two bumbling detectives in the "Adventures of Tin Tin"

He did invent the seedy drill thingy yes. That's me trusting Google for ya! The Uriah Heep part is right. Not even sure about Mott the Hoople now lol.
