Once more unto the quiz, dear friends

Here we go again, King William's College quiz.

You know the rules - equivalent of looking it up in a library. (This means you can use Google if you've got an inkling of what it is and would be doing the equivalent of reaching for a book on the appropriate subject to check your answers but not to force-break the questions if that makes sense.)

10.1 SW3 is Chelsea. Flanders joked in the introduction to the Gnu song that he lives in Kensington (W8) and Swann lives in Battersea (SW11) but calls it South Chelsea.

[clanwilliam]

Yes, SW3 is Chelsea, but what musician?

[fanf]

Swann is too much of a stretch?

[clanwilliam]

I think he is, yeah.

Elvis Costello?

I was thinking of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swing_Bridge,_River_Tyne rather than the millennium bridge. Rotates through what axis? I did wonder if Tower Bridge's bascules were said to rotate...
