    Nice touch, subcontra.

    Here it is, then.

    One word.

    What G links the words "et", "in" and "you're"?

    Yes, Rubbernecker. Well done.

    Can you give the fuller answer, though? :-)

    Well, I guess we are talking Latin for the first two, something like: "Quo fas et Gloria duc*nt" and "In Gloria dei patri" and the first two words of this for the third: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=355Fk8drgZE
    Aaah, that takes me back. Laura's legs were something else.

    Herewith my poser:
    One word answer; which H connects a work by a Danish Flautist, an excerpt from Bradford's most famous musical son and a gipsy song by Brahms?

    Yep - Laura Branningan was a dream of my teen years, too!

    For the sake of accuracy, the simple(r) answer was that they are all words that follow "Gloria" - Gloria et Filii (and Glory to the Son), Gloria in Excelsis and the first words of Brannigan's biggest hit - "Gloria, you're always on the run now..."

    Hirondelle? (I have an 'I' question ready should my answer be correct!)

    Blimey! I thought that would keep the thread quiet for at least 24 hrs by which time I would have to post another clue...

    Well done, Ofcachap. Hirondelle is indeed correct. L'Hirondelle is a piece by Dane Joachim Andersen, which is of course the French for a swallow, Late Swallows was a movement arrd. by Eric Fenby from Delius's 2nd string quartet, and then we had a German swallow in the form of Brahms's Liebe Schwalbe, kleine Schwalbe from his Op.112. But you knew all that, you clever chap, Ofcachap.

    So, now hit us between the I's...
