    True! I was so far off, I was well out of harm's way...

            As I cannot think of any composers called Neil, and only one conductor of that name, can we assume it's something to do with Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young?

              Neil is the singer in a 2000s band.

                Not Sedaka then?

                It's a big record list to go through & then find you're on the wrong track, y'know

                  The only Neil (edit: Doh! He's Noel, not Neil!!!!) of the 2000s I can think of is Gallagher, Neil Tennant is 90s, if it's some boyband then I wouldn't have a clue. Are the other two classical?

                    By 2000s I mean 200-2010, though he may have started off in the 90s.

                    Not a boy band. What are they for - manufactured, don't play instruments, don't do harmonies.

                        Henry tried to fix a hole in a bucket, but I don't think succeeded

                        is N the thing that is bright, quick and fixed ?

                          Or are you talking about boy bands in general, in which case never mind my comment

                          Sadly No further forward here, and out soon.

                          Tomorrow is another day!

                            Well, I am totally flummoxed and don't know where to look. The only Paul that comes to mind is Hindemith or McCartney. As it's a lovely sunny evening I think I'll go and catch the rays outside with a glass of something cold and refreshing whilst dinner cooks.

                              Paul Simon?

                              Hindemith wrote an opera called Das Nusch-Nuschi.

                                Forget the composer who fiddled around with Weber's Turandot - tis the one who sorted Scarborough Fair!
