Hi people,
I'm currently redoing my karaoke books but there are some things that I don't know what to do about. What do you do about groups with "The" at the beginning of their names?

The Real Thing
The Darkness
The Cars
The Darts etc etc

Do you just list them with the "The" or remove it? If you list it with the "The" you end up with pages and pages but I want it to be tidy and easy to use

Remove it. Put ", The" at the end.

If you're on a mac and use kJams, the software does this for you.

The trouble is that some bands are referred to with or without 'the' preceding the name, and some always use it - like 'The Jam'. And then there is 'The Prodigy', who became just 'Prodigy' in 1996 (not that you'll have too many from them in your books :p).

If people go to the T section looking for 'The Beatles', I'm sure most of them will quickly work out to look in the B section instead :confused: :D

where practical I leave out the "The" , so I have folders called " foundations" , "drifters" , "jam" etc

And The The have their folder :D :D

Just remember Who doesn't have a question mark ;)

Same here.

A have removed "The" and "A" from all groups AND titles starting with either of those words.

Fortunately, I don't have anything by The The!

:D
