A1 (Nina Hagen or Lene Lovich)?
A2 Sting
A3 Tony Hadley from Spandau Ballet
A4 Simon Le Bon, Duran Duran
A5 Deborah Iyall, Romeo Void
A6 Bob Geldof
A7 ???
A8 Cyndi Lauper
A9 ???
A10 ???

A10 could be the singer from Altered Images - Clare Grogan - also played Kochanski in early Red Dwarf episodes?

Simon LeBon is in the middle of them all, not bottom row.

Isn't Lene Lovich at E2?

Yes, I'm now thinking Nina Hagen could be A1.

A4 could be Nik Kershaw...or George Michael? Discuss.

I was thinking E2 and E3 were Haysi Fantayzee together... don't know individual names

Howard Jones, Nik Kershaw could be two to his right.

I reckon George Michael is with Andy Ridgeley to the left of Annie Lennox

Would A7 be the chick form Big Pig?

Yes, I think you're right in Kershaw being E3.

I still reckon that's Simon Le Bon next to some other guy - A4's hair is more consistent with the blonde-ish bouffant do GM had in the mid-80s.

Unlikely... Big Pig wasn't known well internationally, was it?

I'm thinking that Bow Wow Wow's singer was young and dark skinned, maybe it's her.

I'm with you on Le Bon, just not literally.

So for row A we have:

A1 Nina Hagen
A2 Sting
A3 Tony Hadley, Spandau Ballet
A4 ??? not Simon LeBon, possibly a Wham-era George Michael
A5 Deborah Iyall, Romeo Void
A6 Bob Geldof
A7 Anna Lwin, Bow Wow Wow
A8 Cyndi Lauper
A9 ???
A10 ??? possibly Clare Grogan, Altered Images

No idea about the nondescript fellow at A9. What's that around his neck?

On Row B I reckon these:

B1 - could be Elvis Costello?
B2 - Thomas Dolby
B4 - looks like Chrisse Amphlett in the face, though I might also entertain Chrissie Hynde?
B6 - Trevor Horn (The Buggles + producer of several other acts)
B9 - Jim Kerr, Simple Minds

Is A9 from REM?

Definitely Costello in B1, I thought B4 was a bloke :lol: :lol:
B5 is Cher I'd imagine.

Row C looks easier.

Agree - B1 is Elvis Costello and B4 Chrissie Hynde IMO.
