Alphabet associations - I

[rubbernecker]

Which adjective beginning with N connects performers associated with (a) a repeated colour, (b) an unhappy start to the working week and (c) a group of teenagers on top of a hill?

New

New Vaudeville Band: Green Street Green (whose 'Winchester Cathedral' has featured on AA before)
New Order: Blue Monday
New Seekers: I'd Like to Teach the World to Sing (as used in the famous Coke commercial)

I'm disappointed "a Sat-Nav misdirection" didn't figure in the clues

Almost irresistible to use the old line: "last time I saw a sample like that, the whole herd had to be put down"....

Two out of three - or, put another way, four out of four. To paraphrase an earlier message to one contributor - possibly me - from another - possibly you : 'You didn't expect me to make it that easy (i.e. by including the New Vaudeville Band again) did you?'
Had I known you wanted more elements, I could of course have also referred to 'recently arrived youngsters in the neighbourhood'.
Your first answer, while wrong in both respects, is almost right in one.

Having now established that New Kids on the Block have not covered The Green Green Grass of Home, I'm going to have to pass...

A member of the group you're still looking for went on to have a hit single in his own right despite the record in question being placed on a restricted playlist, and even banned for a time, by Auntie.

Green Green by the New Christy Minstrels. You dragged it out of me in the end

Without further ado,

What O connects a work by a Bach offshoot set in the wild west, a work in a language not dead but petrified, and a song from a wasted evening?

[Nick Armstrong]

Edit: Does Colin Fishwick meet a sticky end tonight?

It's a Corrie omnibus end to the afternoon... I'll know soon. No spoilers Ofca! But Tchaikovsky 6 has just made an appearance... in the rather good scene in the basement of their house when Charlotte's parents confront him with his lies.. and now high tension about what happened to the old folks... (Heavy hint in his slightly psychotic chopping of a cucumber in following scene....

That's the one I thought Caliban would get...
