Protocol dictates I should probably wait to be invited to set the next question. However, here is the next question:

What G connects Roberto, Jill and an award-winning rock band?

[Don Petter]

Kreisler was also born in Vienna. The nationalities were deliberately misleading.

See my addendum above!

[Don Petter]

Jill not Gil?!

Another Buck Rogers fan!


Assuming it is Jill, we need FerretFancy here.

[rubbernecker]

Gabriel?

Nope. And it is definitely Jill.

I'm hovering around Gomez. Jill Gomez. Roberto Gomez but the rock band??

EDIT: Ah, yes, Gomez are an Indie rock band.

Well done bts. Over to you for H

[rubbernecker]

Is that Roberto Gomez the Bolivian drug trafficker or Roberto Gomez the Filipino pool player?!

Ok, it's a common name, but my mind was on the tenor. All three sing, see...?

What H links a sad composer, a music festival and a composer who likes word games?

[BetweenTheStaves]

Mmmm..no takers? I'll let it run for this evening and then drop a clue tomorrow.

I can get something for the first two (if variant spellings for different languages are involved) but am then stuck for the third.

.....(if variant spellings for different languages are involved) ......

Absolutely! Vive la difference.

[subcontrabass]

Absolutely! Vive la difference.

How about Henry, as in:

(1) Henryk Gorecki (Symphony of Sorrowful Songs

(2) Henry Wood Promenade Concerts

(3) ????

I think I've got the last two but not sure about the first ...

[french frank]

BTS has my first two. And what about Henri Dutilleux?

Edit: Sorry - scb not BTS

[BetweenTheStaves]

Very good...getting close. Two and three are spot on but number one isn't the one I was thinking about.

FF...would you like to say why you think it's Henri Dutilleux?
