      Corrie has been absolutely brilliant ever since Sunday ....I'm really looking forward to tomorrow's episode - and what a treat Caliban has in store when he sits down to watch the omnibus edition!

        OK my little sherbunkins, I must away to my bed .... I'm sure that someone will get this L soon & I'll see y'all in the morning

        As a clue - there might be what some might call a little deception in my use of L but vinteuil has already made an assumption that suggests to me that he doesn't regard it as a deception ... or has he not noticed?

          Yes, wonderful, gripping stuff isn't it? And there is at least another week of it!!!

          I have given on on the L for the moment.

          Edit: Oh, do not tell me it is Llandudno!!!

            If not Llandudno what about Llangollen?

              Indeed .....Pavarotti visited Llangollen in 1955 and 1995, Carreras in 2007. Caballe has also appeared at the 'Last Night'.

                "...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..."

                  Just to say that, should Llangollen be correct, I neither seek nor deserve any credit, as antongould got the correct answer. I merely checked out some details by way of confirmation for my own satisfaction.

                    Llangollen International Music Ferstival is correct, anton

                    Been going since 1947, every year like clockwork, but we tend to think that the only national music festivals are The Proms and Glastonbury

                    The contentious part is that in Welsh, the first letter of Llangollen is Ll not L - - but I guessed that you would forgive me

                    Well done Anton - on with the M if you please

                      ... in Spanish too, LL is a separate 'letter'...

                        Welsh has a surprisingly different alphabet to English and its double letters (treble even -ngh) are an important factor to bear in mind when doing Welsh crosswords - and Spanish ones

                          What M links 2 composers - one with a chamber work that was just a little sheepish and the other who played piano on a Sinfonia recording of a Paul Simon "classic". Also we have a judge appointed to the Bench by Ronnie Reagan! All musical to varying degrees.

                            Is the sheepish chamber work Menotti's Amahl & The Night Visitor?

                            There should be a fingers crossed icon

                              Sadly no as a cluette the sheepishness was female!
