Girls groups were rare quests in the past editions.
Maybe we will see anybody from the most popular UK girl bands (Spice Girls, Girls Aloud, Sugababes, All Saints).
From big pop acts nobody didn't take Bucks Fizz before, based on the huge love to 80s music here possibly their time is come.
From solo male singers beside Elvis and Cliff, we can see Robbie Williams and Rod Stewart.
I'm not very familiar with Rock / Indie. Let's do the bet on Cure and Divine Comedy.
Madonna of course must be in the list. Shocked that nobody didn't take her already in five previous Haven Factors.

I said from the start that I thought Haven Factor would get better with each edition, once the most obvious acts are used up. I'm really looking forward to this one, as I think we'll get a really broad spread of music - many different genres, decades, levels of success, etc.
I reckon a couple of big names (some of the candidates have already been mentioned), some solid second tier acts, a few unknowns, and, I fear, a possible "joke" entry.
Bring on the reveal.

My list of songs for the contest is now up to 10. It might be dangerously optimistic to say I'll be needing that many lol.

A few more clues, to make it interesting at least one of the clues isn't true  *one artist brought rock and roll into the mainstream in the 50's/60's and sold over 40 million records  *the duo are best known for being a bit cheeky cheeky  *one act has represented the uk in Eurovision *You may or may not have heard about this one already on the grapevine *we have our very first HF drag act turned musician *one of Havens favourite songs will bound to makes an appearance in HF6  *Louis Walsh mentored this Irish duo into our hearts back in 2009 |

The UK Eurovision act looks obvious to me although who knows - maybe we have a Kathy Hirby fan here.

Eurovision could be Buck's Fizz, but could also be cliff, looks like the Rolling Stones are in there as well, very interesting, I will try and remember to be here for the reveal.

The Eurovision act could be Bonnie Tyler, or Lulu, or God forbid, maybe even Michael Ball!

Little Richard No not Elvis or the Stones but Little Richard (real name Richard Penniman), he exploded on the Fifties music scene with his thunderous piano and electrifying stage presence, setting the tone for the future of rock and roll. Inducted into the charter class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1986, Penniman has been a huge influence on many artists of several music genres, including soul, rhythm and blues and rock. In addition to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Penniman was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2003. With 15 studio albums and 16 top 40 UK singles this artists mentor is spoilt for choice

Tiffany
Tiffany, is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and former teen icon. She is most notable for her 1987 cover of "I Think We're Alone Now,” a song originally recorded by Tommy James and the Shondells in 1967. Released as the second single from her eponymous album "Tiffany" the song quickly became a teen anthem. Thanks to an original mall tour, Tiffany found commercial success when both the single and the album peaked at No. 1 in the USA. 10 studio albums ranging from 1987 to 2018 she has a huge catalogue of modern hits and 80’s classic’s, could be a dark horse to go far in Haven Factor 6 like Kim Wilde and Kirsty Maccoll
