      Beyond that wild guess, I'm stumped.

          There's a Guinevere Way in Exeter (but that's more SW England really).
          There's also a Centre for Maritime Studies.
          There's also an annual Dance Festival.
          Only one of these has any musical associations as far as I can see.

              It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.

                      John Gardner composed a setting for the carol Tomorrow will be my dancing day
                      Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry composed the opera Guinevere
                      Thomas Wood composed Master Mariners

                      all of them were Exonians : I had never heard of any of these works (and the only composer I had heard of was Parry)

                      I call it fiendish...

                          Gustav Friedrich Wilhelm Großmann provides some help for Haydn ; Chopin requires it for his Revolution ; Arturo Márquez Navarro​ triumphs with his.

                          what the F ?
