Mika

New voice on the block. He's growing on me. Should I be concerned?

Stevie Nicks

There is not much more I have to say other than what a woman, what a voice. She has written with the likes of Jon Bon Jovi and Tom Petty and has sung with many singers and bands including Fleetwood Mac, Sheryl Crow and Deep Dish.

Visit her official web site http://www.nicksfix.com/ or watch the videos,

Think of a song

What happens when you think of a song, what images fill your mind, what memories come back to you.

I have lots of songs that mean so many different things to me.

I wonder how many of these songs the fruits would do well.

The answer all of them.

Jimmy Nail's Autobiography

Have recently finished reading Jimmy Nail's Autobiography and I have to say it was great.

I can now see why the album 'Tadpoles in a jar' is such a great album, because there is real heart in every song, a real jem, just as Jimmy himself. A diamond in the rough.

Definitely worth the read.

Rod Stewart

Another great Scottish singer that I think is great and would have the right sound to sing with the fruits is Rod Stewart. I think that it would be brilliant if they were to sing a song (if not a few) together.

Mr Stewart has a real rock voice, has a certain gravelly quality to his tone, that I feel would really compliment the voices of Bill Nighy and Jimmy Nail. And well I think that his reputation with the ladies proves that he can be a moody romancer as well.

The Fruits Game

As the Fruits start touring on their big purple bus they start playing a game called body parts, that Timothy Spall's character 'Beano' continues throughout the film. The aim is to name as many music bands, groups, artists whose name is a body part. No prizes, just for shits and giggles.

So here is your starter-

The Faces.
