Geocache Description:

A sizeable geocache in the centre of Cardiff to act as a TB Hotel for the city, which also celebrates the fine music heritage of the city. 
Please Note: This cache is not available after dark. Cache is in a quiet spot by Cardiff's standards, but still relatively busy location so some stealth will be required, and please rehide out of sight.

There’s nothing to be found at the given co-ordinates (except the oldest record store in the world). The cache can be found within 1.5 km of this location.
Should be an easy enough puzzle to do with a little lateral thinking and Google-Fu, and it’s not meant to be a taxing puzzle so if you get stuck please drop me a message.

The cache can be found at
N 51° (H+J) . (B-G)((F-I)xA)
W 3° C . D((HxE)-(D+E))

Where A-J are the number of letters in the answer to each of the questions below (ignore punctuation and spaces):
 

A.      Born in 1937, this singer already has a Geocache in Cardiff celebrating them. 
B.      Michael was given his stage name by a friend seeing him air guitar in the street. He has more than 30 UK Top 40 Hits.
C.      This band shares their name with a famous trio of golf holes in Georgia, USA.
D.      This act’s 2nd album suggested they were fans of the TV series The X-Files.
E.       Two members of this punk band formed in 1996 went on to form a band that is an anagram of “Effete Foul Truth”
F.       The first track on this act’s debut album highlighted a controversial US tactic during the Vietnam War.
G.     This act were formed at Cardiff University and take their name from the Spanish word for peasants.
H.      This Cardiff band never received true mainstream success in the UK, despite appearing in the Hollywood Film John Tucker Must Die.
I.        An actor who famously appeared at his front door in just his pants (in a film) was the original lead singer of this Mercury-Award nominated band.
J.        This classical singer has been in the public eye since she was 11 years old but has more recently been associated with pop music.
 
I’ve set off 3 TBs from here, two are to travel around the world, and a third to travel around the UK. There are two “prizes” for FTF, one is an unactivated TB tag, and the other is a FTF tag that needs to go into an unfound cache, i.e. you’ll need to create a new cache, or pass it on to someone who will.  Cache is also fairly well stocked with swag which started off as some badges, balls etc.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.
