Slightly more obscure than usual:

What F is related to Verdi, Haydn, Schubert, Weber, Rossini and Elgar?

Clue: Tadcaster

Clue: Tadcaster

Tadcaster is famous for its breweries, I can't see a connection to those brewers (Smiths) the composers and beer. It also has a famous Battle.

Who said anything about composers?

[Anna]

Who said anything about composers?

Er, I thought you did! What F is related to Verdi, Haydn, Schubert, Weber, Rossini and Elgar? But just now I see Family and Obscure are significant. Errr, where is everyone, have they all gone on the Eurostar?

It also has a famous Battle.

Another clue: Verdi was Beecham's 'fixer'.

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

So, to clarify: we're looking for a family that connects six people who have the nicknames of composers?
