Living in rural Devon, this week's #ThursdayFiveList, #SupportYourLocals isn't easy.
For mine, I've selected bands from or near places I've lived over the last 70 years.
Weather With You - Crowded House.
I spent my early childhood in Otorohanga, Aotearoa New Zealand, near Te Awamutu, birthtown of the Finn brothers.

(I Just) Died In Your Arms - Cutting Crew
I went to school with Nick Van Eede (he was Nick Ede back then).

Gay Pirates - Cosmo Jarvis
Cosmo grew up in Totnes, and many of his early gigs were in The Pigs Nose, East Prawle, where I lived at the time.

Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks
The Davies brothers were born and raised in East Finchley, where I lived for 16 years. When we were in the process of moving to Devon, I showed Ray Davies round my house.

Founding member Martin Turner was born in Torquay, not a million miles from here.
