    At last you've sprung it! I think it's you or ferney, after a merc(ia)urial side-step as the currently absent Anna would say.

      Well mercia very kindly took G off my hands - happy to try and do the honours unless ferney is burning to do so?

        No protest from Mr F so please find an I linking the three tenors whose CVs include (respectively) furniture design, theoretical physics and artistic fraternity

            Yes Coughie... Too easy for you!

            Ian No. 3 shouldn't keep you long. Think David Cassidy and Shirley Jones

                Brotherliness in artistic pursuits. I was naturally trying to confuse the issue!

                I read that one of Ian and Jennifer Partridge's recitals in Sweden in the 70s sold out with ridiculous speed.... and then the punters realised it wasn't the Partridge Family...

                Your J, Sir

                  A J links 3

                  sounds like a bird, a conquest but not a hill.

                      The J is a forename. The three are cryptic clues which should lead you to surnames.

                          All have been described as divas one classical, two popular, one of whom is no more. And that's your lot, 'nuff clues?
