    What G connects:
    A child-beater, hair-raising twins, a Blues and Jazz singer, and a young hottie from 9th February 2010 put another way?

    YAY! Well done Flay (I know too well the work-for3 juggle... )! Also Norfy - I thought it was a great question!

    G-wizz... Might have to wait till the morning, fading fast here

      Yes, Norfolk, very good, if somewhat baffling to the end.

      For my G: not everything relates to music, and not all the music is necessarily what would be liked around here.

        G-g-g-got it!

        I think.

        The hair-raising twins must be the alarming Jedward, who are the brothers Grimes. Peter Grimes beat his young apprentices. Carol Grimes is the blues and jazz singer.

        I don't know the last one...

          Well done! Try the last one, Calibs. She's quite cute (forgive me, Anna)

          the clue is with the date

              sorry, that's got me stumped too (unless there's a baby salamander (called Grimes) born 9/2/10 .................. they're not very cute though, are they)

                How else could you write that? Nearly there. Not a d.o.b.

                    Bravo merce! I knew you could do it. I would never have got that!

                    I have a quick H available, I think it's too easy but if someone gets it quickly so much the better, as I must leave for work soon...

                    What H links Antwerp, New Jersey and a classical list?

                          You might have mentioned Frank Sinatra, who was born in Hoboken, NJ!
                          Right ... I'll see what I can come up with...

                            I have a horrible fear suddenly that Hoboken had been done before with the same clues plus Frank... Or are you just on fire this morning, NB?

                                I do have a lot of Sinatra in my CD collection!
                                Here's what I think is a pretty straightforward 'I'
                                Which 'I' links Arne, Gluck, Schickele and Schubert?
