Well I'm not sure it's what you meant but Wilson fits... It's the second name of the late lamented J Savile; Steve Wilson founded prog rock band Porcupine Tree, and Peter Wilson is a bass guitarist who studied at the Guildhall and has done orchestral work as well as rock...

But somehow I don't think that's what you're after, Monsieur Frou Frou!!

Much better than what I have on the card, Caliban!

Perhaps a little clue required ??

I presume that the answer is not a surname (unless there is a certain amount of fabrication going on )?

(Incidentally, appears in both Am's posts: is this a "nudge"?)

A bite of Simon?!?

I can't imagine there's enough for a bite - perhaps just a nibble

Le Coeur Tendre and Le Frou Frou seem most apt

Note that the "Simon" appears to have a halo...

[amateur51]

The Answer is a surname ... and not in one case, where it is adjectival

A clue? Well in the case of Steve, this W links to Lennie too

That should get you in the right direction

I'm snookered.

I'm snookered.

Oh I was hoping you'd be more wired than snookered.

OK: so not Jimmy White (the snooker virtuoso, for whom "white" might also be adjectival), Steve White (the Drum virtuoso with The Jam and Lennie White, the Drum virtuoso with Chick Corea) and Peter White (the "smooth jazz guitarist" - thank you Wiki: I was thinking of the R4 broadcaster), then?

Whoa big fella! You've decided to ignore the clue about being in the right direction? And I'll let slip that the 'Steve+Lennie+W' is very musical

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Oh stupid me!
Steve(n) Sondheim and Lennie Bernstein collaborated on the Musical West Side Story.
The "direction" West.

I don't know Jimmy West (is he the tinned salmon chap? Another Musical: "Salmon chanted Evening"?) or Peter West (a newsreader on ITV years ago?)
