    Anyone care to fill in Brian the Obscure? (In the nicest possible way, of course!)
    I think mercia did that upthread. Obscure Records. Liver Salts (as I think they were called, keep you regular)

      Has Brian Eno (Obscure Records) been mentioned yet?

              W-w-w-w-whaaaat??!

              EDIT: Oh! Eno!! (My granny always had those. We, in contrast, were an Alka-Seltzer family )

                  Yep: Brian Eno, exponent of Ambient Music (the sort you don't pay VAT on), KOAN and Roxy Music.

                  Anna, mercs and Northy all contributed, but Anna's heroic side-stepping of my "Dresden" trap was rather special. I hope Northender doesn't take umbrage?

                    I don't take umbrage - it doesn't agree with me!

                        I was not acting coy, nor being a shrinking violet, nor hiding me perfect light under yonder bushel, Honest Guv, them bushels is all pefickly legal like, the lights are just, well, the on-dit is that they are a decorative feature of said twigs ....... I just didn't want to set the next, as I only got one Brian so that wouldn't be fair would it?

                            Well, Anna made it easy for the rest of us, so I agree that she really should set the next question.
                            (I do have a 'C' question, which I had hoped to use before BT cut me off from t'internet for 9 days, but I'm quite happy to keep it until a suitable opportunity comes along.)

                              Apparently the Eno tagline was 'Gets to work in 6 seconds'

                                What a marvellous puzzle & a great swift working out* by all concerned, especially Anna

                                AA at its best, I'd say




                                *my Nain was very keen on a great swift working out, as I've mentioned before - I think she was a Sennakot devotee, mind
