    a colloquial name for London ?

    "nice weather, bring me" - an allusion to a TV comedy-duo song word

    a Norfolk rebellion = an historic event of 1549, centred round one man


    which will lead you to three compositions by one composer (the A)

      Norfolk rebellion = Kett's rebellion?

      Colloquial name for London = The Big Smoke?

                      Been v negligent re: mercia's question, too busy bandying courgette double-entendres with Anna.

                      "...the isle is full of noises,
                      Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
