Bands with initials

wickford

All these X's but no XTC?

CSN&Y weren't trading as that though were they? – LZ, PF and last but not least TB (tho the beatles may have preferred something else)!

I think XTC have been mentioned twice already : - )

CSN&Y was commonly used though.

Sorry - initial fatigue!

A UB40 was what Maggie Thatcher gave everyone for their 16th birthday in the 80's. A sign of coming of age......;-)

Not that they would remember it, the state they were in for the sound check!
