Cryptic Music Group Names?????????

Can anyone name these groups???????

Examples: 'Cromwells Boys' = 'New Model Army'
&
'Almost Barcelonas home province but with a cuppa' = 'Catatonia'

1.......'Sounds like a really dodgy bunch'

2.......'They are truly goody goody'

3.......'This man gave direction'

4.......'A seedy inventor'

5.......'Department for suits, ties and braces'

6.......''Mr Briggs is not enjoying dizzies tunes'

7.......'A very humble man'


I must point out that I am in the UK, so these groups are either British or have been popular over here!!!!!!!!
