I turn my back for a few minutes to try and do some work to bring some bread to the table and you lot are already moaning like a flock of hungry gannets, not that gannets moan, mind you, I was just... ok, OK...

Ammy, 2 out of 3, Lawrence Power and Lawrence Foster;
Mercia, right first time with Lawrence of Felt.

Well done, both.

Crikey Anna - another possibility! - where's rubbers?

It never ceases to amaze me, how often on this thread the hare is set running, and then the setter pi.....es off into the ether. The other thing that never ceases to amaze me is how little I know eg about 80s pop and 18th century (and earlier) music.

Sorry Rubbers, you weren't away that long!!!!

Many would regard that as a positive virtue

Thanking you kindly rubbers, sorry to have harassed you

What M connects

* a wildcat composer,

* a master of music for a stringed instrument who looks a tad unpleasant,

* and a man from a Catalan city with his famous pet?

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

* a wildcat composer

John Maxwell Geddes; Alley Cat

* a master of music for a stringed instrument who looks a tad unpleasant,

Peter Maxwell Davies; ... err ... urm ... Sad Pavane for these Distracted Times??? (is it the "master" or the "instrument" that "looks a tad unpleasant"?)

* and a man from a Catalan city with his famous pet?

... err ... urm ... Gavin Maxwell and his otter?

[rubbernecker]

Peter Maxwell Davies... (is it the "master" or the "instrument" that "looks a tad unpleasant"?)

Ferney, I'm sure the pet in question is an ocelot rather than an otter, but I haven't got much further...

Still twiddling my moustache.

Lovely imaginative replies, fhg, probably better than the clues, but not what I'm looking for I'm afraid.

It's the family name of the composer for stringed instruments that looks a tad unpleasant - it you heard it pronounced properly maybe this effect would not occeur to you?

The pet is not an otter or an ocelot. In fact in context it is only the pet's owner who mistakes its real identity

Thanks, Ammy. I could have been paddling a long way up sh*t creek unless you'd hauled me back

Blimey, he had one of those as well

That is surreal...

Surprised rubbers got in first with the ocelot reference, vinmousseux!

I recall your recent vision of the decadent denizens of Bayswater flânant with ocelots on silken leashes (or similar)
