Thinking caps on, here we go.
Musical Acts
....................
1. Almost bluff the old model and then drawback.
2. Take a posh sounding towel throw in the river before joining the race.
3. Understood the boy returned with three spots.
4. Wager on our sound being small and almost finished.
5. Have a bit of a tantrum.
6. Nearly passing and then almost get up with the emergency.
7. The gent takes his cap and whips.
8. Get weaker before virus gets the editor in the races.
9. Courtaulds had a strange garden surrounding it.
10. Got an animal back in the continent.
Best of luck
Bill

Not them Shelagh. These must be good ones as it is the longest any of my quizzes have gone without any of them being solved.

Hi Bernie, sorry about that, I forgot to put the theme on. It is still musical acts.

Congratulations Bern, Clifford T Ward it is.

Old Model = Ford T
Drawback = ward............... = Clif..Ford T ....Ward

Well done Bernie, Anastacia it is, though I have a sneaky suspicion you just got it from the Asia clue.
Get ..An...animal back = cat....continent = Asia
Get an animal back in the continent = An..As..tac..ia. = Anastacia

Dunno Bill, just came across them during search? Ian Hunter (mott the hoople) has a band called Rant..also found a Scottish folk group called Rant.
Took a guess, thinking they fitted in nicely "a bit of a tantrum RANT"
If you think this a naff answer, should see some of the others I've got written down

These seem to be proving a bit difficult, so a little help(not a lot) is called for.
2. Male 1980s
.4. Male. 50s / 60s
5. Male. Rap
6. Male. 70s
7. Group 70s/80s
8. Male. 60s
9. Male 60s
That's all you are getting for now
Obviously must be making them too difficult now, due to lack of attempts.

Hi Shelagh, that was a lucky guess, Eden Kane it is.
Courtaulds = Enka. Garden = Eden.....strange garden = edne( anagram)
Courtaulds with strange garden surrounding it = Ed..Enka...ne. Eden Kane
Well done (I think)

Bill,,,suspected 'strange garden' might be Eden straight away, but couldn't make the Courtaulds connection. knew it was known by something else, couldn't remember what
Had so many names for this cryptic, mostly anagrams, hardly any having relevance to Courtaulds, 'Grant' being the exception, (Company received many at one time)
Thanks for explanation, Bill!!
Time now, for other little conundrums
