OK, the clues from my story "The Ballads of Billy Redmond" are revealed under the cut. I'm also going to edit the story to put the answers in - they'll remain "highlight to read" so anyone who would still like to have a go (first, second, third attempt etc...) can do so. And with that thought in mind, here are the instructions again, with a little more help for you all:
Within the story there are five clues (I've pretty much given you the answer to the first one). Each is numbered, so you won't have any problems locating them. Each is a song - a title, an artist or a lyric. All the solutions can be found on the Internet (Google, Wikipedia etc). Your task is to identify the songs and the artists, then use that information to work out what Billy is trying to tell Bodie & Doyle. If you get all 5 right you wind up in an interesting place in London, but you need to solve all 5 to find it.
List of songs and the clues they contain:
1. Long Cool Woman In A Black Dress (The Hollies) - Chantelle/Sandra, Coogan’s go-between.
2. Ruby Tuesday (The Rolling Stones) - Tuesday. She’s meeting the courier on Tuesday.
3. A Walk in the Park (Nick Straker Band) - she’s meeting him in a park.
4. Glad All Over (Dave Clark Five) - the song is the home game chant of Crystal Palace F.C.
5. Get it on (T Rex) - there aren’t too many songs about dinosaurs *g* so this clue is the name of the band, not the song itself. Chantelle is meeting the drug courier on Tuesday in the dinosaur garden, Crystal Palace Park. Thanks to Billy's clues, CI5 will also be in attendance *g*.

(which is a very cool site indeed).
I'll be unscreening comments later, but I have to do something about dinner first :)
