Thanks to everyone for joining in the fun with our Sunday Quiz, and especially those who knew the connection between a flamboyant drug addled musician and the occasionally violent lead in a film about a Scottish gang of misfits.
Renton
Thanks also to those who knew that Jimi Hendrix was buried in the Greenwood Cemetery in Renton, Washington State USA and that Ewan McGregor played the part of Mark ‘Rent Boy’ Renton in the film ‘Trainspotting’!!!!
(insert cymbal crash — Editor)
Yes. The answer to the 4BR Sunday Quiz you really were looking for was Renton.
He (Frank Renton that is) of the British Open win in 1991 and the famous National Championship title success in 1992 with Grimethorpe Colliery Band, as well as the great character in the 1996 Danny Boyle film and the even greater left handed guitar playing genius.
Any other connections you may have made are entirely spurious....
