    Hmm, he might have been born there then. But he has a very broad Hull accent and represented East Hull politically for ages.

    Wrong!

    "Scarlet was a UK based vocal duo from Hull, East Yorkshire, England. They consisted of Cheryl Parker (vocalist, guitarist) and Jo Youle (pianist, keyboardist, vocalist). The group originally had a third member, Joanna Fox, but she left before the band had any major success."

    No offence butbeing your age and Swedish probably lends to you not knowing most if any of the names but most of the people mentioned had a decent level of fame in British and certainly some of them in Europe so they are stars regardless of age.
