      Well, I'll leave it to Cloughie to finish off. But it cannot be Maxwell Davies. Anyway, offline now for quite a while.

        Well, he's affectionately known as Max. But I'm not sure whether Her Maj actually calls him that.

        Good work, team. Cloughie gets the next letter, Y, Z or A

                    The rapper Yo-Yo was born in 1971 so that rules him out...

                    (But a yoyo can be quite a nasty weapon in the wrong fingers )

                      An early contemporary, and it is in relation to a song.

                            "...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..."
