        What O connects a famous performer of a favourite Radio 3 coloured piece, music for a fishy tale by the namesake of a famous plucker, and a premiere in New Mexico?

          N coleslaw: N = Noel

          Noel Coward wrote a ditty about dear Uncle Harry

          Noel Neill played Lois Lane in the early '60s.

          The third movement (Andante quasi lento e cantabile) of Victor Hely-Hutchinson's Carol Symphony is based on the Coventry Carol, with a central interlude on The First Nowell.

                              would that antipodean be John Christopher Williams not to be confused with little Johnny Williams who played jazz piano in the late 50s?

                              But Jaws doesn't start with O!

                              But Olympic Fanfare does!

                                Ah but Jaws has achieved something beginning with O that Olympic Fanfare probably wasn't eligible for
