Martin Penny is/was a pianist? Now, was his partner a Viola Somebody

exactly, his duet partner (apparently) but better known in her own right. Sorry to make you work for this.

[mercia]

I don't want to spoil your Sunday, Angle so here's a big clue: Aldeburgh

[Norfolk Born]

Viola Tunnard?
If that's correct, the 'W' clearly still goes to Angle, as he did nearly all the work, added to which I shall be offline from later today for a few days.

[Angle]

I am enjoying it the puzzle and the day and shall shortly have to go out but:

Martin Penny did a lot of work with Viola Tunnard (piano) but he also played with Cecil Aronowitz (viola) and they all played at Aldeburgh. I think I shall I go for Viola Tunnard. (It's all so long ago). I think they both played in Noye's Fludde at Aldeburgh (a very old recording of which I have, coupled with The Golden Vanity, but which I have not llistened to for years).

Viola Tunnard?

indeed, well done and very sporting

whenever you feel like doing a W, Angle, feel free, but no hurry

[mercia]

Martin Penny did a lot of work with Viola Tunnard (piano) but he also played with Cecil Aronowitz (viola)

Well done Angle! I will be offline after tomorrow (hols) so our numbers are dwindling! However, I think rubbers will be back shortly, perhaps all this fine weather has meant people are being industrious in the garden?

[Angle]

Hope the weather is good for your holiday, Anna. Have a good time.

Now for the W:


Undone, I go into sawmill for a baroness.
