Would Mr Geller be the cause of any flute-related concerns?

Yuri Landman created a 12-string zither.
Uri Geller bends things.
Heaven knows which pianist called Yuri is playing (the Grieg?) tonight.

2 out of 3 ain't bad.

Not the piano. The right notes, the right order... ring any bells? There may have been a Preview?

[Norfolk Born]

Yuri Bashmet's at the Barbican tonight ... and Previn's conducting!

[Flay]

Yes, well done. The European premiere of Previn's Concerto for Violin, Viola & Orchestra

You have a real Zest, norfy

This shouldn't delay proceedings unduly:
Which 'Z' can be Baroque, Romantic, large or small?

Oh Dear. Once the answer has been posted you realise what a simple question it was! I got the Morecombe & Wise clue but dismissed it, could not think of any names beginning with Y except for Yves and went off on a wild goose chase about 12 stringed guitars and got distracted by a Vulcan 12 stringed Lute in Star Trek! Honestly, I think I must be suffering from terminal dimness ... Well done Norfy.

Anna, think how enriched your life is now, learning about Star Trek

Mrs Flay says that I snore, but I know she's wrong because I never hear it

I myself have been the target of similar such slurs

Well, yes, this thread is very educational in many ways and I knew nothing about Vulcan Culture and their Lutes before ..... Perhaps R3 should feature them on The Early Music Show?

[rubbernecker]

I knew nothing about Vulcan Culture ...before ...

That's not what you've led us to believe previously

I gave my heart unto my love: Elgar - XTC, his last song
The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead by XTC refers to JFK; the Bay of Pigs I think is what you are after.
MDMA = ecstasy

Just tuned back in... A twisted X from rubbers, Elgar is the only element I'd ever heard of. But then rubbers's mis-spent youth is the on-dit of the M4 corridor...

Dr Flay's medical antecedants stood him in good stead.

But I see there's already a Y...

EDIT: and a Z. I'd better stop wittering

Where's the Star Trek reference, rubbah??

[Anna]

I did? That link just shows my last post. Oh, Vulcan = rubber? Did I mention condoms or tyres? I hardly think so. Have you been at the Co-Op cut price Rioja again?

... I'm assuming we're thinking of Spain here?
