Alphabet associations - I

[Anna]

Gosh Caliban, I am quite faint with envy. Is there no end to your illustrious connections?

I've been round the houses with Ammy's G, and only came up with Maggio Musicale Fiorentino as the Festival and Goldoni Theatre, and Holst translated Goldoni. Then I came to a juddering halt as regards Elgar etc. Is the G a composer (or is it too early for a clue if others haven't had a go?)

[mercia]

a score of the Requiem which he autographed "en bien sympathique souvenir" to me which is one of my most treasured possessions.

oooooooh <big green envy emoticon>

I had Gregynog that I had in mind, Norfs!

Over to you for an O!

[Norfolk Born]

Wouldn't you rather have an 'H'?

[Anna]

I had Gregynog that I had in mind, Norfs!Over to you for an O!

I consideed Gregynog but then thought that an obscure Welsh place would not be generally known by anyone here so it must be something far more grand and international! Memo to self: Grasp the Nettle!!

Gregynog

It's all Greek to me... I have never heard of any of the elements in that G! Too busy being swanky, I suppose

EDIT:

I'm now feeling very stoopid!
