                Quite so

                Could you elaborate and move on?

                  He has organist at Dover Priory
                  RVW's Tallis was first performed in Gloucester Cathedral

                  But for the birthday I cannot get past his ditty for Queen Lizzie's 40th - perhaps she was Holy?

                        My meeting is starting again now I must hasten back with a joyful heart...

                                I'll have a think too... Home at last (no booze-up, Anna - not a drop has passed my lips all day ), little snooze accomplished (I was up at 5.45 this morning ), and now brain in gear in between a late supper...
