perhaps to do with Romeo & Juliet's Swiss origins ?
trying to help

Oh cheers mercs!

So ...

Village Romeo and Juliet is the fourth of Delius' six operas. The composer himself, with his wife Jelka, wrote the English-language libretto based on the short story Romeo und Julia auf dem Dorfe by the Swiss author Gottfried Keller.

So is it Keller, Norths?

With Hans Keller too?

[Northender]

Keller is the link. Gottfried Keller's novella formed the basis for Delius's 'A Village Romeo and Juliet'. Could I press you to provide some more information regarding Hans Keller (also correct) and then to hold out the prospect of some better weather?

[amateur51]

Hans Keller was the dedicatee of Britten string quartet no 3 and Frankel string quartet no 5; and piano trios by Buxton Orr and David Matthews

[Northender]

Correct. Now, back to the late 1950s for a 'one-hit wonder'.

Jerry Keller isbest known for his 1959 million selling record, "Here Comes Summer."


You're avin' a larf, innit Norths

[Northender]

A quick summary:
Gottfried Keller's novella provided the subject for Delius's opera 'A Village Romeo and Juliet'; Hans Keller was the dedicatee of the works you mentioned (and others); and Jerry Keller had a hit with 'Here Comes Summer'.
Over to you (suitably refreshed if needs be ) for 'L'.

[amateur51]

Cheers, Norths!

Was that Timothy Taylor's Landlord?

Okies ...

What L links a successful 1950s British film, a musician who was a conscientious objector, and a singer from an apparently immobile Welsh band

Apologies all round - I need to go out soon and shall not be back until at least !8:00 I suspect.

If you 'get it' then do by all means carry on to M, and I'll review the L when I return.

Apols again.

Chipping away as far as time permits and so far totally failing to 'get' this!

Is it a case of "cherchez la femme"?

Film: The Ladykillers (1955)

Hello scb

It seems so obvious when you put it that way

As per ammy's injunction, you'd better press on after that impressive bowlful of very ladylike Coleslaw

Shall we try an M to link a fortress, a Queen of Carthage, and a small symphony.

[mercia]

probably not worth asking if there's more than one queen of Carthage

[Anna]

probably not worth asking if there's more than one queen of Carthage

Is this any help: Besiege a fort, to undermine a town,
And make whole cities caper in the air??
Probably not!

[subcontrabass]

probably not worth asking if there's more than one queen of Carthage

Which one is best known?
