    I thought Don Manley also sets as Quixote in the Independent …..
    (I mostly stopped doing the Indy not long after its paper version’s demise – perhaps the Quixotic Don hasn’t appeared since before 2021, in which case my apologies)

    Just realised I’m the first to comment and it was remiss of me not to say what a super, useful list has been produced….. Many thanks to the compiler, and for being so generous with their time

    Neil Shepherd (Alberich/Klingsor) died in April 2022.
    Should the headings for the columns be 2025, 2024 and 2023?

    Good point, Rudolf. Done now.
