      Nor me, probably all quiet there now!

      Hope your quest for the answer isn't 'Driving you Crazy'

          You're Driving me Crazy by The Temperance Seven, presumably named after fernie's Preston men.
          or according to wiki a play on the phrase "one under the eight"

          Sorry, am I being stupid ?

            Not at all I set the clue knowing of the T7 but not the P7. This thread is educational, well at least it's adding to all those useless facts already unfortunately lodged in my memory.

            Over to you to tote your T.

              thanks for the clues. I think I stole that one from ferney. However,


              a T to connect

              the British premieres of Dmitri's Piano Concertos, Bambi Lascelles's brother and some musical Rites of Passage

                Is there brass involved?

                  along the way, yes (but not ultimately ...... if that isn't too misleading)

                          Sculthorpe? Tuckwell? Tasmania, perhaps?

                            no perhaps about it ............. Tasmania it is
                            can you complete the jigsaw, Angle ?

                            EDIT - we're now just looking for the soloist in those British premieres ................. born in Tasmania

                              shall we move on ?? would you like to set the next question Angle? seeing as you got Tasmania and Sculthorpe.

                                New name to me. << She appeared 37 times at the Proms, gave the British premieres of both Shostakovich concertos and became known to millions as the pianist playing Rachmaninov's Second Concerto in the film 'Brief Encounter'. >>
