Alphabet associations - I

[Northender]

Ah now it gets complicated. John Roberts is the English name of I number 1 who was not a harpist; the second I, Esplenderoso, is the harpist.

Think John Roberts, think development of tonic sol-fa in his home country. And in what part of UK is it traditional for cultural exponents to have a second name for cultural events?

Er....pass!

[Northender]

Ieuan Jones, aka 'arpista esplenderoso' in Majorca, apparently, and presumably elsewhere. (Honestly, the lengths one has to go to sometimes .... )

[Northender]

So...we've got Daffyd Ieuan - Super Furry Animals drummer and Ieuan Jones 'The Splendid Harpist'. Whither now, I ask myself?

[amateur51]

Daffyd Ieuan - Super Furry Animals drummer.

And also drummer of Y Pawb (The Thing) - bravo Norths

Just a note - it's Dafydd Ieuan - not Daffyd

[amateur51]

So it's all down to John Roberts - plenty of them - this one had a bardic name too that includes the name Ieuan.

This could be a tie-breaker

[Northender]

What about his side project 'Peth', which apparently is also Welsh for 'The Thing'?

Good point, Norths!




Can't read my own notes

After all that, it looks to me as though mercs set us on the right track, as he was the first to mention Ieuan....

Still waiting for John Roberts solution, Norths - could be the tie-breaker
