Correct. Now we just need someone who knows the real name and the stage name of the vocalist.

No answers for a while. It is Adam Darski who goes by the stage name Nergal when playing in the band Behemoth. thought someone would have googled it by now. Ha ha.
Bit easier, a team in the UK Premier league shares its name with a team in South America. Which city do the South American team play in.

There's an Arsenal in Buenos Aires.
You have defeated me with your knowledge. Ha ha. That wasn't the one I was thinking of, never heard of them. Your floor. Anyone want to have a guess as to the one I had in mind and where they are from? Will give it a few hours and then tell you in case anyone is interested.

Only reason I know that is that years ago a group from their club were in a pub near Highbury and were doing a tour of London grounds. Top lads too (I didn't mention the war)
Ha ha. Cool. When I was in Buenos Aires no one mentioned it. Actually I met a lot of Argentines across South America and no one mentioned the Falklands (Or Las Malvinas) even though they knew where I was from. In Buenos Aires I took photos at the Argentine memorial to the war and also of protest sites by war veterans near the Casa Rosada. Again I spoke to people there and there was no bad blood so to say (There were lots of posters saying Las Malvinas belonged to Argentina so I was possibly taking a risk). Speaking about the Argentine war veterans I thinks their main beef was how they got treated when they came home rather than me for being from the UK.
The team I was referring to was Everton who play in Vina Del Mar which is just a stones throw from Valparaiso in Chile. Well worth a visit if ever you get a chance, and I say that as a red from Liverpool. Ha ha.
Anyway, the pitch is yours.

Is it the 100m and 200m runner Frankie Fredericks? He was born in and raced for Namibia, but studied on a scholarship in America.

Great suggestion but not that sport.

A further clue. It involves gentlemen who handle odd shaped balls.

Well, the main connection must be Rugby Union, but as the two countries haven't played each other so far (not even in the Rugby World Cup), I'm not sure what the precise connection (if there is one?) is!

Yes it involves the national rugby union sides of the USA & Nambia. What do they both share?

I think it's that both Unions have the Eagle as their emblem ... ?

In October 1889 Edison recorded the voice of German Chancellor Otto van Bismark and the recording survives.
On that recording someone else's voice is heard- I don't expect you to know their name but why is this voice so historically important?

Was it an interview, and therefore it was a two way conversation with Bismarck being asked questions?

Not that. The other person being recorded was an elderly military strategist...

The name of the person isn't actually important it's when they were born

That's it. It contains the only surviving recording of someone born in the 18th century. Your scratchy floor.
