              Dublin nothing to do with Handel here. All three clues are birth-places...

                  the first two yes, but not the third here.

                  And which B is going to bring them together?

                        Bard - aha!
                        Well, Burt Bacharach, who was born in Kansas City, did say 'Go Ask Shakespeare', Balfe composed an opera about Falstaff, and Berlioz also composed works inspired by Shakespeare.

                          ... not Bacharach, and your bard isn't Shakespeare

                            Berlioz has been a featured composer at the Bard Music Festival, as has Balfe.

                              Bunns and biscuits and bread of bran. In the pretty Pagoda Rhoda ran?

                              Berlioz & Balfe conducted the Maid of Hono(u)r?
