Alphabet associations - I

The almost 100 refers to one of the most successful sporting careers ever.

Donald Bradman's final batting average (first class, or just test matches, I'm not sure) was fractionally short of 100.

Sterndale Bennett was born in Sheffield, which is in the Don Valley.....

[antongould]

Exactly

As it took three of us to tease out the answers - who goes next?

[antongould]

Don it is

Don Gillis - Fun Symphony
Sterndale Bennett - born in Sheffield in the Don Valley
Don Bradman - career test average of 99.94 after being bowled for a duck in his final test.

Over to Ofcachap for an E

Thank you. I'll try to come up with an 'E' before bedtime, failing which I'll have one ready by, say, 09.00 tomorrow.

Which E links a few words from 'Hamlet', a dance in triple time and a film festival?

Neat! A little overnight cogitation required

[Norfolk Born]

Anyone not familiar with my occasional modest attempts at question setting may appreciate the information that, while the link begins with E, the three linked items don't. The link beginning with E comprises an odd number of letters, contains one fewer vowel than it does consonants, and no letter is repeated.

10.13: a perfect time for a few clues!
The few words from 'Hamlet' are spoken by a character who inspired Cabanel among others. The dance is associated with a particular country. And the festival shares its name with (and probably takes it from) a character played by the man who founded it.

May one ask which country the film festival is in?
