    did he play any musical instruments ?
    Bass guitar. Wiki doesn't say why he was called Plonk. He may have nothing to do with the solution

      perhaps he drank cheap wine [not from the co-op]

        Indeed he was. And before the Faces grew had a number of hit singles.

          Oh yes he does, don't know why he was 'Plonk' - would fit Piano rather than Bass!

            Could be - I seem to remember seeing a film of them recording, where they were knocking back Liebefraumilchh - wellit was the 60s/70s!

              U is included in the title of songs by the first two and then the third one is obvious!

                oops, I've been under a misapprehension - I thought the word was ukelele, as played by Buffy
                (and manufactured by a company called Decca)

                  The only U I can find in song titles by either of those artistes is "Up". The Decca connection is not obvious so I guess that's wrong.

                  I think I'll sit this one out till the next letter
                  "...the isle is full of noises,
                  Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                  Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                  Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                    Which group is Decca part of?
                    Think Buffy, think Donovan
                    Which group was Plonk in and what minor hit did they have?

                    If you think I've strayed off the Classical stuff too much you're probably right but U is a beyound this world letter to match!
