Googled in one, Ammi, I wish I could make them as straightfoward! S'pose you want a G up now!

[cloughie]

A G to link Dvorak in the round, not Vivaldi but the perpetrators sound like one of his works, and a lullaby in Abbey Road.

Are you getting verbal diarrhoea with your clues, cloughie? One whole line!

[Anna]

Not sure of the Vivaldi ..... think the others could be Dvorak's Golden Spinning Wheel and the Beatles Golden Slumber edit: Presume the Vivaldi is therefore something by The Four Seasons, haven't a clue about that except, Vivaldi definitely didn't write Sherry so would it be the opposite of Golden - La Silvia and Silver Star?

Anna, you are well on the way to H
You are right Vivaldi did not write Golden Oloroso, but the Four Seasons did record a song which was covered by the Tremeloes!

[Anna]

Oh, Silence is Golden? I wish I'd stayed silent as it means I'll probably have to think of an haitch!

It's Hall yours!

cloughie, I have to say, I think that was the most straightforward puzzle you have ever set!
OK, this will Hopefully be quick, as I will be on and offline this evening. Honestly, it's Heverso easy!

Thank you Anna - I abandoned the cryptic stuff - Is Howard any good?

Howard, who he? No, but it is one name, simples, honestly, a child could solve it!

Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey, was one of the founders of English Renaissance poetry. He and his friend Sir Thomas Wyatt were the first English poets to write in the sonnet form that Shakespeare later used, and Surrey was the first English poet to publish blank verse in his translation of the second and fourth books of Virgil's Aeneid.

I thought everyone knew that?
