Dave Stewart: keyboards
There may even be a sax player but I can’t be arsed to check.
You have to be a bit loose with you definition of ‘band’ as I don’t think this lineup ever played together, but there was a point when all 5 members of Fairport were called Dave.
When John & John from They Might Be Giants decided to expand from being just a duo, the guitarist, bass player and drummer they added were all called Dan. They were christened The Band Of Dans.

Skirky says
If only Dr Feelgood had had a singer called John.

They sort of did: Lee Brilleaux’s birth name was Lee John Collinson.
hubert rawlinson says
Think it was just four
Mattacks
Swarbrick
Pegg
and David Rea
DrJ says

Freddy Steady says

Come on, Afterworders – surely we can come up with an all-female band that share a name …
Moose the Mooche says
Very difficult because female musicians tend to have more interesting names.
The Maureens? Beyond La Tucker, I’m struggling.
duco01 says
About the best I can do is …
Alison Moyet – vocals
Alison Krauss – violin
Allison Moorer – guitar
Allison Miller – drums
bigstevie says
With Amy Allison for extra guitar/vocals, when she’s not with her other guitar playing quartet of Rigby, Winehouse and Macdonald.

Black Celebration says
Isn’t there a band called “a band of Susans”?
You’d better check on that before you proceed with this. They might sue.
Moose the Mooche says
There was. Peel used to play them, and memorably pronounced it as “Syoosans”. Because he was posh like.

Twang says
Nice.
Moose the Mooche says
Interviewed by Donald Stott, who is completely redundant.
Mousey says

Rigid Digit says
Nik Kershaw waiting for the phone to ring.
(despite being without a c)
duco01 says
Nic Jones waiting for the phone to ring.
(despite being without a k)
Moose the Mooche says
He should cut his losses and team up with Ric Ocasek.
Meantime Lord Kershaw should team up with Rik Mayall.
That’ll confuse ’em!
fitterstoke says
A band of Nicks should include Stevie on vocals, diaphanous twirling and alternative routes of administration…
Moose the Mooche says
Your last would suggest that she’s branched out into outsourced office solutions…. Is there no end to her talents?
hubert rawlinson says
Not forgetting Nick Knowles on twin vocals (though I’m doing my best to forget)
Malc says

Getting all of that talent together just to “Do The Bump” seems a bit unnecessary…

Smudger says
From bobness and myself over the usual Thursday evening pint.
Derek and the Dereks
Inspired by Derek Smalls of course and ably assisted on bass by Derek Forbes.
On drums, if he’s finished his community service, Derek Longmuir.
We could do with a bit of help with the rest of the line up but Derek Jarman is waiting in the wings to produce the video.
Rigid Digit says
Derek Clapton?
Rigid Digit says
Del(boy) Shannon
Moose the Mooche says
They could get Derek Acora to channel some tunes from, I dunno, Derek Bowie.
Backing vocals sadly NOT by Derek Griffiths (still not over that, btw)
minibreakfast says
Rose, Hudson, McKagen, Adler and Stradlin.
(“Izzy Stradlin?” “No, it’s just those leather trousers”, etc.)

Oops, wrong list thread!
