Anguirel is a guest of Tom Bombadil.
Thanks for the clarification Mithalwen. I find Nancy Mitford the best source for the hell of don's wives...if not particularly borne out in my experience. Interesting, of course, that Luthien was a musician of note, though a vocalist, not an instrumentalist. We do not know if she continues to sing in wedded bliss. Are the gravestone carvings Tolkien's tribute to a wife's sacrifice of tradition (Anglicanism; read here Elves?) and music?

Racking my brains for more musicians, I find only Tinfang, about whom I know practically nothing. I've a vague idea that he is of the Vanyar and as such does zilch...but I could be misremembering.
