        is this Chris Gray brother of Nigel, record producers ?

          You've got the other Ellington number.
          Chris is more likely to be found in the company of a Lady In Red

            has he been droning on that long - In a Country Churchyard.

              To sum up:
              Albert W Ketelby - In a Monastery Garden/Chinese Temple Garden/Persian Market, published between 1915 and 1923
              Edward Kennedy 'Duke' Ellington - In a Mellow Tone/Sentimental Mood, published in the 1930s
              Chris De Burgh - In a Country Churchyard, published in 1977.
              It's Cloughie's 'J', yes?

                    Jeremy?

                    Norman Scott was allegedly given lessons on a certain brightly-coloured double-reed instrument by Jeremy Thorpe, Jeremy Fisher was a creation of Beatrix Potter like Peter Rabbit, and ... ... there are very few people called Jeremy in Northern Ireland...

                    Just being facetious, sorry...
                    "...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..."

                      Your fishing trip yielded nothing.

                      A propos of not very much I was just thinking about Northender's choice of Ellington songs - ManTran did a good version of 'In a Mellow Tone' and Roberta Flack 'In a Sentimental Mood'.

                          Josephine?

                          Sir Walter Scott wrote a Life of Napoleon which presumably dealt with Joséphine de Beauharnais; and Josephine was the name of Peter Rabbit's mother.

                          Again stuck on the Northern Irish connection...

                                I looked at this earlier today and gave up. I was trying to fit in Scott of the Antartic +/- RVW. Your clues are too vague, cloughie. Help us, please
