Ms Jones had to do some piano practice for her role in Breathe In (apparently)

Indeed she did - but you might like to clarify that we're not in Rising Damp territory here, mercs

What a shame it isn't Saoirse Ronan, ferney:

A rising Irish actress has confounded musical experts after learning to play a complicated Beethoven piano sonata in just 12 weeks.
Saoirse Ronan, 17, from Co. Carlow, Ireland, had never played the piano before but she was asked to play the role of a music-loving vampire in Byzantine.
Director Neil Jordan was left 'speechless' when she performed the difficult 'Piano Sonata Opus 2, No. 3' instead of miming her part in one scene.

Something to bear in mind for a later clue, perhaps, ed ('tho' probably not an S!)

Oh! Righty Ho....a big blank there though I've had the pleasure of hearing the Gothic Voices live on many occasions.

well done, o prickly one Brian renumbered as AG says - I couldn't tell from their website whether G-Voices were still together - every time there's an Abbey service on TV I recognise Mr Nixon
