    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!

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

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

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

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

            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

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

                  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
