        Curses! I had:

        Julie Felix (for some reason called "Britain's first lady of folk) who covered Mr Zimmermann's Blowing in the Wind
        Simon & Garfunkel (originally Tom & Jerry) whose Sound of Silence used The Band.
        Jimi Hendrix (Are You Experienced) who covered Like a Rolling Stone

        ... is all of this useless?

          Julie Felix is correct, but you've got the wrong song.
          Simon and Garfunkel ditto.

                  Please, please Mr Ferney, sir! Is it "antique"?

                    Oh yes, Rutter wrote a 'Suite Antique'. You clever old so-and-so...

                    The word is in the plural for the Debussy, of course, n'est-ce pas?
                    "...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..."

                      Yes, it is! Bravo (and apologies for the delay) - a mere 8 minutes after setting.

                      The B from your bonnet, please.

                      (add Debussy's Six Épigraphes Antiques, Ravel's Menuet Antique to Cali's Rutter!)

                              Oh, I so wish I'd thought of that!

                              ... but I'm so glad I didn't!
