        You're wasted here mate. You should get an agent...

        "...the isle is full of noises,
        Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
        Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
        Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

              That's unfair Caliban, it's the same as saying you should instantly solve everything with a French connection! As far as I know Charles Lindberg stayed in Llandaff.

                  So the Welsh tune (and you didn't answer my question as to whether it's classical) is also a female? Do we divide Counties into gender? Of course there is Mam Cymru, Anglesey .... I think I have gone from impossibly dense to terminally confused

                    "Lady in the Dark" is a musical with music by Kurt Weill, lyrics by Ira Gershwin

                    "Lady Jane" is a Rolling Stones' song written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards featured on their 1966 album Aftermath.

                    There is at least one lady in Wales: our Anna!

                            Do you think my "Lady" can be right?

                            Are these two examples of the Welsh variety? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladies_of_Llangollen

                              The Lesbian Ladies of Llangollen - my great-aunt Dilys made a sampler with a picture of them as the subject. I was never sure if it was a subliminal explanation of why she was unmarried - she did have a tangerine moustache which my father explained was a result of a considerable daily consumption of Woodbine ciggies

                                Llangollen did cross my mind but I think, with clues pointing to The Marches, then West of the Marches, then fictional Counties .........

                                So then I gave up! Surely Llangollen was never the county town, that would be Denbigh?
