Many thanks for all these answers. I have only number 5 now, can anyone suggest a composer other than Berlin?

4. Mozart

Australia = OZ
backward vehicle = Tram

[factor-fiction]

I have tried composers called Bonn, Rome, Bern, Dili, Doha, Juba and even Head, but I didn't find any

[TOMMO33]

There is a Dan Bern, if you think he would qualify.

Struggling with no. 5, am trying to make Bach work,
capital = B plus cha for cha(p) maybe??

meant to add, as an anagram.
Late for work, will check back later, when I am sure someone will have solved it and the answer will be obvious.

For #5 there are various composers with the name Aman

Thanks again for all your help. I think Dan Bern does qualify, apparently he was a prolific composer, I have not heard of him but I found his name, and he qualifies as the capital of Switzerland :-) J.

I also quite like Aman as an answer, although I'm not sure why the clue needs the word 'capital' in it if the answer is Aman

[jane mark 2]

you are quite right factor 30, Aman is given as the capital city of Jordan, Thanks very much! :-)

[factor-fiction]

I think the capital of Jordan is actually Amman, but I think Aman (for the A chap), and with it sounding like Amman, still works , provided you think Aman is a sufficiently well known composer.

OK - a week too late I know but I'm doing this quiz now and just in case you see the post I don't think its anything to do with a capital city. I think its just capital A and man (chap) - Aman
