As Spacepig rightly says, Geoff Barrow (drums/vocals) is a former member of Portishead. Billy Fuller (bass/backing vocals) is also, alongside his work in Beak>, a long-standing member of Robert Plant's Sensational Space Shifters, with whom I've seen him play live many times. Will Young (guitar/keyboards) was in a band called Moon Gangs, who I have to admit to knowing nothing whatsoever about.

Mmm so, what was the problem here then? A very disappointing 6 voters put in the effort to finish off this round. With 11 noms to choose from, that's really rather pathetic, heartfelt apologies to poor ol' SussexWelsh.Despite this, we do have a clear winner, on 9 points, Val bags the gold with (Merry Xmas) Face The Future. A point behind, and half a silver each for Spacepig with Dursley, and When We Fall nommed by Fishy Jim. And filling the podium a further point behind, Tim's nom, Brean Down.
And amazingly enough with such a scarcity of voters, again, no wooden spoons this week.
Another band I know very little (ok, nothing) about but I do see that they have one member of Portishead in their ranks, could be interesting.
Not much info on Wiki about them aside that they have 4 albums since their debut in 2009.
As ever, noms to be in by 10 pm Sunday evening, leave a link to your chosen song, and come back to vote next week.
Have fun :-)
