          That was after really scrumptious scallops in a white port and garlic sauce followed by ribeye with their blue Stilton béarnaise. House claret avec. Plus the 'Corpse Reviver No. 4" to start and finish. Perfect.

                          Sadly no - a composer probably best known for film scores.
