Put it this way you will be wasting your time looking in Northumberland. Jack's stomping ground was mainly The New Forest and Dorset.

No one curious enough to find out :?:
Very simple search requiring just a smidgeon of Jack Hargreaves knowledge as given for free above.

Then its say what you see. "Packhorse Bridge Dorset" and let geograph, google or whatever come up with a list of images.

So this is it

This is a very decent thread...has chugged along with a bit of periodic stirring up, but undoubtedly it expires without participation.

Sorry Neil, I'm afraid I somehow missed the original post so was unaware of the outstanding question!! #-o

1988.....and a joint effort gets it in 2 seconds an act of genius. My irrelevant input to the joint effort was "At Seventeen" which it isn't.

PS there is Heardle80's now not sure if its the original heardle thing, or a copycat.

It's as easy as "Who wrote Handel's Messiah :?: " today. Virtuoso's all round.

I'm hoping when I peak into Mick's spoiler that he took no more than 1 second to get it.

1983.....I would expect to get most tracks from that year, and returned to virtuosity. Forgot to do yesterdays.

The guitar played on the track has a wiki page all on its own.
The guitar is a Fender Stratocaster white 1960s model with a hardtail bridge, which has been retrofitted with a 1959 maple neck.

How is your R&B today :?:
The lyric detective, if you can made out what he is saying, is actually doing a bit of Craig David and mentions his own name as well as the track title in the 16 seconds.

You may detest the genre and the song but it is getable as an intellectual challenge, within the 16secs without googling, as proved by chez falcon.

Simply didn't like what I heard at all so no time spent chasing a track title and artist that I wouldn't want to hear ever again!! :-D

I ran it to the end to see who was making that awful noise so I know to avoid them.
Can't remember who it was now though. Didn't recognise any of it.

How is your extremely well-known on a world scale female artists, with their most well-known song knowledge today :?:

Back to 1999, and and a 1 second virtuoso performance.

Good luck, easily getable
