          oh well done AG, I couldn't find them
          I think the oasis may be in Cornwall (if you didn't know that already)
          IMS Prussia Cove nurtures and inspires world-class musicians. We bring emerging artists and acclaimed performers from across the world to make music together.

                    Are you calling me a twit, Sir?! *throws gauntlet on floor*

                    Sorry you early risers, to leave you unattended.

                    You got it!! mercia first pronounced the P shortly before dawn but anton nailed Prussia as the answer in relation to Musical Offering and the Haydn quartets... mercia added the third element, Prussia Cove. And Norfy came in with the theme/offering element exactly as I had it in mind.

                    So pick the bones out of that!!!

                    I think anton shades it with two elements and the first 'answer' as such.

                    Well done folks
                    "...the isle is full of noises,
                    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
