Guessing here - Silent (or Silas?) Carmichaelson? Something like that?
yer on the right kinda track alan - it's clearly a little more abstract than i thought.

i think badly drawn boy is right - it's clearly a boy.

Mumford and son ?

DonovanB

how about "Twenty-one; Deuce" might be easy for some.

or, A 'small refund' that everyone loves to hate.

Got it in one! Dick-see-dregs. And here was I thinking I was being all clever and cryptic. ?

6x9base13 wrote Mumford and son ?

Of course! Doh!

giggsy

Well done 6x9 and good one Dom!

This one should be quite easy...

Drat! I got the "Dixie" right away. But I know left-over coffee as "grounds", so went on a spiral to nowhere!! :-[

Back in the USSR?

DonovanB

Asia

giggsy

Arjun Menon wrote Back in the USSR?

Donovan Banks wrote Asia

Both very good guesses (and I suppose they could both be right) :-[ but not the band I had in mind

How about these? You wanted cryptic, so I've put the cryptic cap on!

"Inhabitant of Tenochtitlan captures likeness with dark chamber"?

"Elizabeth, Mary and Victoria in a power trio"?

"Were these vermin familiar with Messrs Baerwald and Ricketts' 1986 disc?"

"Did the divine interlocutor possess a score and ten units of ag?"

"Arabesque and pirouette in the West-Berlin lodgings of the aviator to Alba?"

Alex-B-Broadway

Riaan C wrote "Elizabeth, Mary and Victoria in a power trio"?

Queen, maybe?

Not quite where I think the arrow is pointing but - Berlin ?

Aztec Camera ?

Boomtown Rats?

"Arabesque and pirouette in the West-Berlin lodgings of the aviator to Alba?"

Spandau Ballet?

Correct!

That's it! David & David's Welcome to the Boomtown.

Correct. Word 'camera' derived from Latin camera obscura (dark chamber).

Spandau Ballet?

Yip. Rudolf Hess flew to Scotland (Alba = Gaellic for Scotland) from Spandau prison in West Berlin to negotiate peace with the Brits.

You guys were way quicker than I thought it would be!

On first read I must admit that I gave up! Would never have thought of Aztec Camera though...
