Martin has just said that "Yello are probably the only artist from Switzerland you will all have heard of..."
I didn't want to crap on his thread, so...
How about Patrick Moraz, or Yehudi Menuhin, or my real reason for posting this, and definitely one for you Pub Quizzers, Tina Turner. Tina Turner is Swiss.

Patrick Moraz I knew about (but surely many have not), but I didn't know either Menuhin or Turner are Swiss.

Being of the right age and a fan of Yes when Rick Wakeman was replaced by Patrick Moraz meant that I also knew he was Swiss. I think claiming that Yehudi Menuhin and Tina Turner as being Swiss is stretching it a bit as both were born in the US and became Swiss citizens at some point. Menuhin later became British even!  |

Tina has been officially Swiss for the last 9 years, but " stretching things" or not, how good a pub quiz question is " What is Tina Turner's nationality?"  |

I also knew about Moraz.
How about Krokus? - an entire band full of musicians.
Pretty sure a couple of members of Brainticket were Swiss, too.

Uh, huh. So my original premise that Yello are the only Swiss artist that probably everyone has heard of was not so far out?  |

Strangely enough, I'm sitting out on our balcony in Greece having my morning coffee listening to Clepsydra. I'll let you Google them |
