    One down, two to go.

    According to Grove, Charles Wood was bandmaster of the Cambridge Volunteers from 1889 to 1897.

      I thought the word 'respected' might have been intended ironically The R3 programming this morning sent me to a bad place... Getting out and in the sunshine has cheered me up but I see I've missed the C-train

        Nothing ironic intended. I was merely referring to the widespread opinion that things have been going downhill since then.

        You are not too late to contribute an offering to the C list. We only seem to have one solved clue and no link so far.

          well I'm not going any further with the C question (if that's what you mean) - I hand it to others

            The pre-R3 BBC chap isn't Edward Clark, then?

              No. Only just pre-R3 (actually overlapped with it)

                  Stumped here - as Johnny-come-lately, is 'Charles' not the link?

                  Because there seem to be no Charleses....


                  I guess there will have to be some intense googling by others, as I have a meeting in 5 minutes... Done no preparation!! Damn AA and it's addictive puzzles!!!!

                        So far, the only common C I can get is C-C-Cambridge...

                            Sadie was not, I think, an Organ Scholar, but all three studied at Caius. As you got two of the three clues and the link I think you should move the key on to D.

                                Copland and Adams refer to Tippet? Half Nelsons all over the place!
