                      I was supposed to be at an afternoon lecture but it got too late so I gave up. Royal:

                      The Royal Scottish National Orchestra was awarded royal patronage in 1991.
                      Ditto Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in 1988

                        Northo has disappeared but I claim the coleslaw prize for the R (and Mercia was correct I'm sure).

                        So onwards and upwards with a S who connects a dried grape, a fairy, and a Renaissance.

                          Back slightly later than promised, but Flay has given you all the gen for 'R'.
                          In the years in question, the orchestras based in these cities became Royal.

                            apparently there's a rock band called Renaissance

                                Glad you got that off your chest
                                "...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..."
