    is this V composer a gold medal prize winning composer ?
    or did one of his pieces win such a prize ?

    Vaughan Williams won the 1930 Philharmonic Society Gold Medal

      And did he collaborate with a Yes man?

            The answer is Vangelis. Mercia, were you referring to him when you mentioned gold award prize winning composer?

            Cairo - Friends of Mr Cairo written in conjunction with Jon

            AI ...androids....Vangelis composed the music in Bladerunner

            Usain Bolt....Chariots of Fire....the main theme written by Vangelis

            ...who also happened to be on Private Passions last Sunday.

                  I'm off out - if the implication the W is mine - can't do it!

                      Can somebody please tell me for what we are waiting - a 'W' is it? - and from whom?
                      Thank you!

                        Cloughie has surrendered the W - Monday night is singing night if I remember correctly. Maybe he'll be back soon, given the time, but in the meantime I infer he wouldn't mind if anyone stepped in.
                        "...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..."

                          To be honest, I just chucked in the Yes man bit, thinking Mercs had got Vangelis. Next thing I know Res Man has given the full answer implying I'd got it. Couldn't upset Ammy again by doing a W and then going out so handed it back. This morning no W - what's the scene guys?

                            The scene was awesome - Lenny's "Mass" last night

                            Go on - Why don't you go for it now?

                                I was nowhere near Vangelis, but I've cobbled together a W, with permission

                                a Messiah aria, Hindemith in the festive season and a Copland film score
