Are we talking the Steve O'Connor who had a minor role in the classic Amy's Orgasm?

Another... ahem... ah!... Status Quo classic, Mr Gould?

I am pretty confident in saying 'No' !

the only Steve O'C that wikipedia knows is some Aussie footballer - does your Steve go by any other name ? I'm sort of assuming that Mark's orchestra is the Halle. no idea who Michael is. (Jackson ???)

Steve is a singer. And no, it's not Mark Elder...this orchestra is 40 years old. Michael had an early Grammy (and not Jackson)

[Resurrection Man]

It is a jazz orchestra. Michael was one of the youngest ever to win a Grammy.

....... and at 17 years old, trumpet player Michael Leonhart became the youngest Grammy recipient "to date" for outstanding US high school musician - is that a Grammy category ? I presume it is. In 1995 he made a disc (album?) called Aardvark Poses

I guess all these people chose the name Aardvark to be at the top of lists or telephone directories etc. - isn't that the idea ?

I'm afraid all these musicians have passed me by, but I do like an aardvark

Well done, mercs. I rather like aardvark as well. Over to you for a Brilliantly Baffling B

In Islington in the 1970s there was a lesbian & gay housing co-operative called Paranoid Aardvark

[amateur51]

This rather splendid creature is a tamandua, an ant-eater like an aardvark but a different species. It has golden fur with those distinct dark bands too.There's at least one in London Zoo.

That should give RM time to think up a puzzle for t=tamandua
