Saturday Snapshots #422 (Special Guest Post Edition)

Another esteemed member of the Snapshots team steps up to bat this weekend - many thanks to C from Sun Dried Sparrows for her sterling work - and she even brought Ron Wood from the Stones along to show that there's no hard feelings after the drubbing Brown Sugar received in this week's Cancel Culture Club.

I think this is a tough one, folks - but then maybe that's because I only have to put these things together every week, not work them out. 

Who are the artists below and how are their songs connected?

15. Viv Daisyland is confused.

 

14. Destination Saturday?

 13. Not ewe twos!

 

12.  A rabbit follows an Ant.

 

11. Little and fluffy.

 

10. A distant Pet Shop Boy.

 

9. Picasso’s identical friends.

 

8. Orion and Gogmagog, perhaps.

 

7. Gilded French software program.

Good luck, folks. C will be back with the answers tomorrow - good job, because I'm flummoxed!
