Come out from behind the sofa and join my in my trench: I opined on this in a new thread earlier:
Switching off is too good for it. really
"...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..."

What would classical music novices have thought if they had tuned in early for the Proms?

Oh Lor!Originally posted by amateur51 View PostGreat stuff, scb but only Cerys is the right answer ... and for the wrong reason
The L in question is an instrumental virtuoso
Cue a quick Amateur About-Turn.... (an interesting variant on a Mercia Excuse-Me)

A recap might be useful, I think
What L links a successful 1950s British film, a musician who was a conscientious objector, and a singer from an apparently immobile Welsh band
from scb's imaginative but sadly incorrect answer we now know that the film is not the The Ladykillers (and I'll add that the film itself is not the answer); Britten is not the only musician who was a conscientious objector; and this L has a link with Catatonia.
Additional help - L's contribution to the 1950s British film was nominated for an Oscar
