.....Yes, let's do it.
There was the Uruguayan football team.
Next:
The Uruguayan quartet which sounded like it knew Liverpool but whose name could have suggested to some American Christians its historical roots were in Oldham. We also had with this part of the clue "Fanfare For the Common Man", the Beatles and Los Ramblers.
The Uruguayan someone whose family may originally have come from the shore - he mistreated his very own jazz funeral so that it had a British rock music influence. We also had with this part of the clue Deep Purple's "Burn", Angelica de la Riva and Haydn's Symphony "Trauer" (Mourning).
The first set of these Uruguayans were Los Shakers.
Wikipedia describes them as "a popular rock band in 1960s that was a part of the Uruguayan Invasion in Latin America. They were heavily influenced by the look and sound of the Beatles......... they did take one crack at the English-speaking market when they released the album "Break it All" on the US-based Audio Fidelity label in 1966. The record (which featured re-recorded versions of many of the songs on their original LP and even a Spanish-language version of Beatles' "Ticket to Ride") was little more than a curiosity in America and was not a hit, but became a collector's item decades later (2000s)".
The Liverpool reference in the clue and the link to the Beatles should now make sense. The "Fanfare" was a nod to Copland and onto the Shakers, a sect which while it became better established in the United States essentially originated in Oldham, hence the reference to Oldham in the clue. I thought with your reference Anton to being a fair point man that you were alluding to Fairpoint, Ohio and especially the Mennonites who were active in that sort of area. Like the Shakers they were Plain People but I understand that the Shakers were more to be found to the North East of Ohio in New England.

The other Uruguayan is.........Pedro Ipuche Riva (26 October 1924 - 25 December 1996) who was a Uruguayan composer of classical music. According to the catalogue by the Uruguayan musicologist Elsa Sabatés, he wrote 150 compositions, including 6 symphonies and 2 operas. The derivation of the family name "Riva" is "from the shore", hence the reference in the clue. Angelica de la Riva is not related but was there as a hint via her surname. His "Jazz Funeral Symphony" - and the Haydn was there as a steer towards the fact that the jazz funeral referred to in the clue was a symphony - has three movements. The middle movement is based on "Mistreated" by Deep Purple, a track that appeared on that band's album "Burn". And here now is that movement with the third:

I will try to make my next one - if there is a next one - less convoluted.
Letter V goes to you - well done - and thanks very much for tolerating it.
