I knew Level 42 were from the IOW.
I did not however, know, that Shed Seven were from York. For whatever reason, I'd always imagined they were from Liverpool.

This is an interesting mapNot sure how correct this is.
I had no idea where most of these musicians and bands originated from. Most surprising to me was Level 42
Never heard of a few of them either

Think in some cases they're being a bit literal with where an artist is "from". For example Nicola Roberts was born in Lincolnshire, sure...but myself and probably a few others assumed she was a scouser and yes, she grew up in Cheshire. So where is she actually "from" as a musician. Same for Joss Stone who was born in Kent but grew up in Devon
They've probably got the big ones correct and then had to fill in the blanks a bit with some of the shitter counties

Surely your more of a 5 Star fan?
Jethro Tull being from Bedfordshire seems to be based on that being where Mick Abrahams is from, who was only with the band for their first album.
I assume they'd comfortably take the Lancashire spot given they're normally described as being from Blackpool.

Interesting to see The Struts in there - most people won't have heard of them but they are quite big in the US and I've always been surprised that they have never quite cracked the home market.
