      too warm for coats, but a cardy might come in useful on the seafront

          Is the Blockhead a reference to Mr Dury's former band? And is a bright one a star?

            Yes to the former, the bright one can be identified from one of his songs.

                    Before ahinton reports this as being a defamatory post, Stevenson regards himself as a "Scottish composer" - though, as he was born in Lancashire (in the "wrong" Blackburn) to an English mother (and Scots father) and didn't move to Scotland until he was nearly thirty, I think this has to be taken with a dram of Lagavulin. (Mind you, after a dram of Lagavulin, I rather wish I was a Scot! )

                    Damn fine composer, whatever his Nationality - should've been mentioned by now on the "Neglected Brits" Thread.

                      Ooer don't want to start a nationalist stramash on AA. That was copied from wikipedia I think, so my sin is in copying and not attributing rather than misattributing ... if you see what I mean

                        Yes it's Trev, I ought to have got Barnacle in somewhere but I guess if you look for Trevors what wrote music you'll be close!
