The google machine has informed me as to who the individuals are, but not a clue how they fit together. Unless someone wiser than me cracks it, I’ll probably need a clue.
Exactly what I was about to post today after lying in bed all night staring at the images in my mind and trying to come up with something.

Clarence?

A clue (this will likely sign 30 to this rebus). Google helped identify the 1st, 2nd, and 4th clue, the third clue might be the one that is between you and the answer. With the third clue, don’t try to identity the person or the French bulldog. What does the image portray?

Don’t trip over each other trying to answer what should be an easy one. No clues. They shouldn’t be necessary.

Good guess I hope.

ABC Classic had a program related to FFJ a while ago and even played some of her recordings 😬.

@TasMike aced this rebus. The answer is indeed Florence Foster Jenkins.

FLO- Flo
RENCE- Rence
FRENCH BULL DOG- A “rescue dog” being “fostered”.
FERGUSON JENKINS.- Jenkins.

Well done! Florence Foster Jenkins is certainly not mainstream, so after seeing the movie about her recently, starring Meryl Streep, Hugh Grant, and Simon Helberg (if you haven’t seen it, you should), I wondered how many of you would twig to a rebus about her.

It was right there in front of me!
I was trying to think of names that linked to Ence
Got fixated on Clare and couldn't get past it.

@JimInOz , your moment’s indecision allowed @TasMike a chance to shine. You are still probably our ace solver in the rebus thread. No shame!

Well, I'd be happy (and flattered) to be considered one of the Aces.

Sometimes the answer just jumps right at me, other times I'm baffled and one of the other Aces just nails it.

I was doomed. Image search kept telling me the lad in the orange jacket was someone by the name of A J Mitchell. ::facepalm1::

The Paco de Lucia recording is my absolute fave

I was lucky enough to see the Barcelona guitar trio play some of it in Barcelona- it remained the best live performance I’ve ever seen
Luis Robisco is incredible

For on-line entertainment, I like the concert Pepe Romero did with the Danish NSO 👍👍👍.

If it had been a fiddle player you probably would have beaten us all 😉

First and second pic groups are a bit messed up.
First group should be Ann and dress.

True dat. I was going to arrange the images more logically, but I wanted to keep the grouping more symmetrical. The logical approach was messing with my chakras 🤪

I think I'll leave it for another contender to pluck the answer out of the clues.
