You can get both a Rossini cut of beef and a Beef tenderloin Napoleon but I'm struggling with the writer - both served at 'The Conan Doyle' in Edinburgh ?

You're moving in the right direction but just have the wrong type of food. If I had given the writer's name, the answer may have been obvious - all three have a type of dish named after them.
 
Ah - him of the five towns ? A smoked haddock omelette is called 'Eggs Arnold Bennett' - which leads to Omelette Rossini - so, two out of three not being bad I'll guess that Napoleon had something to do with omelettes as well ?

You're correct. Napoleon's connection is the Easter Monday tradition of a 'thousands of eggs' omelette in the French village of Bessieres - apparently inspired by him enjoying an omelette served up to him so much there that he ordered a giant one be cooked and served to his troops.
Over to you.

Reactions: yorkshirehornet
Was it:

Conceived as a studio project and conceptually inspired by the world of sci-fi novelist Aldous Huxley, Brave New World was created by Reinhart Firchow (recorders, flutes, ocarina, Stylophone, percussion, vocals), John O'Brien-Docker (guitars, organ, percussion, vocals, wind chimes) and Herb Geller (flutes, cor anglais, saxophones, organ). They where aided by Dicky Tarrach (drums, percussion), Lucas Lindholm (bass, bass fiddle, organ, piano) and Esther Daniels (voice). Irishman John O'Brien-Docker had previously played on Die City Preachers and Marcel, and also recorded as Inga & John - Inga was, of course, Inga Rumpf of Frumpy fame. He also played with Dagmar Krause and Anthony Moore, who would later be known as Slap Happy. Reinhart Firchow had also been around for a while and would later form Kaarst. Herb Geller was an accomplished jazz musician who had been playing and recording in several jazz outfits since 1954. Their album, originally released on Vertigo in 1972, featured an eclectic mixture of styles, blending medieval music, folk, electronics, jazz and rock in pure krautrock eclectic lore in the line of Annexus Quam, Achim Reichel orTomorrow's Gift.

First ever reissue, housed in a glossy laminated gatefold cover reproducing the phenomenal original artwork and an insert with notes, and it's limited to only 500 copies!

No - that album was released in 1972. What I'm thinking of happened in the mid 60s - and wasn't an album, it was to do with a particular band.
