    Thanks - I've forgotten the rules! Just as well, also, as I'm rather busy the next few days, though today I thought I'd see how the game was/is getting on.

      That's a shame, I was looking forward to a Dave clue. All the three names could be linked to self portraits.

      On researching more about Mr Segovia, Wiki tells me:
      Segovia was one of those to whom homage was paid in the 1978 song by Ian Dury and The Blockheads: Ain't Half Been Some Clever Bastards.

            Cyril Scott:

            Sonatina for solo guitar commissioned by Andrés Segovia
            Danse Nègre arranged for piano duet by Esther Fisher (and she did various recitals of his works e.g. 25 February 1931 at the Wigmore Hall)

            And by George Hall-Neale:



            Which I must say is an excellent portrait.

                  A clue might be in order at this great distance from the inception?

                      Obviously no clue was needed. Care to explain why, Anton?

                      (Apologies, I have been in Bristol with postgraduate son who had a job interview, so I had allowed AA a rest. Just home now after a long day. Fingers crossed for the job.)

                        Hope everything goes as your son hopes Flay

                        Wiki says Mr.T went from the Deutsche Oper Berlin to the Munich Philharmonic and now to the Sachsische Staatskapple Dresden but then again maybe not............

                          Thanks, Anton.

                          Yes, that is what Wiki told me.

                            Thanks. I may get back in here in a while - if I get to solve a clue, of course. The S one was interesting, and my Fisher was a diferent one I think!

                              Yes it has done, they have just offered him the job, and at a good rate for a graduate position!

                              Now he needs to find somewhere to live in Bristol...
