          indeed

          when young you may have attended one of Ernest's concerts

          EDIT - Gerald's recorded output is doubtless featuring in the current Schubertfest
          EDIT EDIT - who do you think Sir Andrew might be in a classical music context ?

                  I'm sure that's true but I need a Watford connection with Sir Andrew himself, not Lord Andrew's brother

                    Sir Andrew Davis attended Watford Boys' Grammar School, where he studied classics in his sixth form years. His adolescent musical work included playing the organ at the Palace Theatre, Watford

                        Careful ... with comments like that, you're sure to stir up a Hornets nest...I shall be pleased to continue with an 'X', 'Y' or adjacent letter.

                            Leighton was an English composer who started his career with the Ballet Russes; David plays the saxophone and shares a surname with another English composer, whose surname was William; and Michael could probably tell you some ripping yarns. All three have a musical connection with the 'Y'.

                              if David shares a surname with someone whose surname is William that means David's surname is also William, yes ?

                                unless that's a clever red herring, Michael must be Michael Palin
