Well I've been all round the houses with Violet and so far the only F is Folkington, which doesn't lead anywhere but my Mother lived not far from there. So are we looking for a musical answer rather than a name?
While we are cogitating did anyone see the conclusion of Edward Drood last night? I thought it was terrific, very Gothic and Matthew Rhys was brilliant and quite frightening in his madness.Comment

- vints spent part of Crimbo watching the fillum, the poor devil 
How in the name of Christopher Plummer am I supposed to remember the title of a song from a fillum that I haven't seen for 40+ years?
Edelweiss? How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria? I Am Sixteen Going On Seventeen? Tomorrow Belongs to Me (or was that Cabaret?) - zounds!

we have established "Violet Gordon Woodhouse"
I have agreed that we are not interested in "Gordon" or "Woodhouse" ...
What F are we talking about?
What other F is in the titles in ammy's #12088?Comment

And I claim the prize for Never, Ever, Ever, Having Seen The Sound of Music!! It seems the Priest who set them on their real-life singing career was called Franz. That's the only other repeatable F-word I've come up with so far in this puzzle!
