KajaHunt 2013 – Day 13

December 13, 2013

‘KajaHunt’ Treasure Hunt Competition Day 13

divider

Welcome to the thirteenth question of 2013’s KajaHunt.

Today’s question relates to keyboard genius Stuart Croxford Neale.

Team KajaFax have met Stuart on several occasions – most recently at Limahl’s 2012 gig in Belfast, and we can honestly say that he really is a genuinely nice man and very happy to chat with fans of the band.

A thoroughly nice guy.

Here, for all Stuart fans, is todays question:

What piece of hi-tech audio equipment did Stuart acquire prior to the Islands recording sessions, that was so experimentally influential on the final sound of the album?

Instruction

We wish you all the best of luck with that question!

Remember, the clues are there to be found 😉

KajaHunt 2013 – Day 12

December 12, 2013

‘KajaHunt’ Treasure Hunt Competition Day 12

Welcome to Day 12.

Today we have what is probably the most testing question of the whole competition.

lions mouth front

The Lion’s Mouth was Kajagoogoo’s 5th hit single and like anything on the Islands album featured a bigger, fuller sound than anything on their previous long-player, White Feathers.

Here is today’s question.

What was the name of the trombonist on the hit single ‘Lions Mouth’ ?

Instruction

This year’s competition has been a bit light on YouTube clips, so here we have one!

Enjoy the video for the track in question – The Lion’s Mouth.

Day eleven and we are beyond the half way point of the competition!

Steve and I hope that you are all enjoying this year’s quiz, and that lots of you have a clean sweep of correct answers!

For today’s entry, we stay with the subject of The Beggion as we ask a question about Nick.

Nick+Beggs+

In actual fact, that’s not strictly speaking true, as it is not us that will be posing today’s question at all, but Nick himself!

To hear the question, press the play button below…..

A huge thanks to Nick for taking the time out of his schedule to help us with today’s question.

If that has inspired you to explore Nick’s solo works, his latest album is a great place to start.

A mouse-click on the below cover art will take you to Amazon where you can buy a copy!

KajaHunt 2013 – Day 10

December 10, 2013

‘KajaHunt’ Treasure Hunt Competition Day 10

ch10

Our Tuesday ‘KajaQuestion’ is one that is, rather unusually, not related to music.

Today, we talk about Nick Beggs and his career as an author and illustrator.

Dangerous-Potato-Anatomy

Some of you may know a little bit about these most wicked of vegetables…..

“….there are trees and bushes, streams and ditches, birds and rabbits. But, can you keep a secret? Well, at night in this particular wood, there are strange cruel potatoes that love nothing better than to bite people on the bottom….”

If you have read the stories to your children, you should know the answer to today’s question.

If not, seek, and ye shall find…. 🙂

Here’s the question:

What is the home of Nick Beggs’ Dangerous Potatoes – where do they live?

Instruction

There is a great video available where Nick discusses the ‘Dangerous Potatoes’ books….

…..some of you may find it useful???

If, after all that, you can’t wait to get these books for your kids, click on the below image to be redirected to the official website where you can get all the latest information, learn about these wicked creatures, and most importantly purchase a set of the books themselves.
