When I lived on the south coast I used to see a Sabbath covers band called Slack Sabbath.
Their lead singer was called Ozzie Eastbourne.

Porridgey

Not a covers band but back in the days when I used to race TTs, a regular on the start sheets was someone called Judith Priest...
Moped
Pete loaf made me chuckle.
