    Is it quarry then?

        If it were Macca, for consistency wouldn't it have been "Sir Paul" in the question?

        Can't make 'quarry' fit with Sir Cliff - whether Richard or Curzon...
        "...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..."

            Cali - well spotted the Paul in question was not a knight of the realm.

            Are you going for Richard or Curzon?

              Must be Curzon, mustn't it? This is the R3 message board after all...

                Even with me setting the clue? - It is Curzon - what a great pianist he was!

                  Wonderful

                  He did a lot of playing with Cecil Aronowitz...

                  Is the Q a Quartet or a Quintet?

                    You've got the right Cecil. Go for the higher number of players and all you need then is the Paul.

                    It could be argued that th answer could be Quartet or Quintet.

                      Did they do the Trout with Paul Tortelier?

                          Unfortunately being distracted by work So inconvenient!

                          Don't really catch your drift in that latest.

                          Is it sth to do with Paul Hindemith?

                                What an amazingly sad coincidence, just seen the news via the thread.

                                No doubt you will want to show your Respect.
