      Yup!
      To recap:
      Oh For The Wings of a Dove (prefers peace to war)
      Oh Calcutta (Kenneth Tynan)
      Oh Mr. Porter (Crewe Junction)
      Oh What a Lovely War (Brighton West Pier)
      Oh What a Circus (Evita)
      To whom shall we turn for a good P?

          Oh! Evita <banned doh emoticon> Wings of a Dove <ditto> Oh! Nice puzzle Norfy. In fact, very elegant.

              Took me a while to see any sight of an O.

                The sort of puzzle, seemingly surrounded by barbed wire, and then - one snip - which I think was Ammy and then - the barbed wire still seems impenetrable!

                  How succinctly put A! By the way with your Cornish connections, did you hear any reference to St Piran's Day on R3 yesterday? I certainly did not see anything Cornish in the programme playlists.

                    No, nothing about St. Piran. Tis odd, we go overboard for St. David and also, locally St. Patrick on the 17th and there are to be loads of traditional Irish music here, but the other Saints? Well, I do not know about St. Andrew, seems nothing much happens (please correct me) and as for St. George, quite frankly, the English do not bond to a single identity. It is all rather odd, national identity and how we display it.

                      'Isn't it time for a P?' he wondered. Perhaps one of the 'O-solvers' might like to step forward!

                          mercia's got two of the elements (and the link), while Anna and Ammy have one each.
                          I think it is, mercs...

                          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                                That's what I was thinking, and therefore the 6 percussionists would be the Xenakis Pleiades?
