I realized somewhat belatedly that this set of questions never asks you to identify the book. Interesting.

As mine is f-locked

1. Take a book you've read. Now take the main character. put them in a band. What would the band's name be?
Aziraphale from Good Omens, the Nice Quiet Harp Band, formerly the Radical Harp Band, formerly the Band Of Harpists.

2. What instrument would that character play?
A harpsichord, due to an error when shopping, but that would play exactly like a harp nonetheless. As would the drums and acoustic guitar of other, perpetually confused, band members.

3. Who else would be in that band?
I'm not sure of the fleeting backing band members, who may just be passers-by who have been miraculously inducted. But that time Crowley did a guest appearance due to the drummer being unable to make it, where his electric guitar sounded like an electric guitar most counterintuitively for the fanbase, and it caught fire part way through the set, was most memorable according to fans and not least for how for one night only they were introduced as "F Harp"

4. Would they stay underground or get popular?
They would be just as popular as Aziraphale would enjoy, which is to say about eighteen fans who would reliably appear at every concert without too much in the way of new people and no-one would ever ask any questions about how the group had apparently been going since the first Gladstone administration without the harpsichordist ever being replaced.

5. Why did you choose that book?
Because it's one of my favourite books, and the obviousness of Crowley's glorious metal band was too easy.
