Not "Britten" by any chance?

Blades and Benjamin Britten were good friends.

Doesn't ring a bell. Great detective work though! I've just emailed my brother asking him to forward me the details of the text that's written on the back of it and how his common law wife came to own it.

Got a reply back now.

Written on the back of the tam tam is:
Steve Whittaker. Field end. 8417.

Steve Whittaker was a percussionist for either the London symphony or the philharmonic orchestra and owned the gong. He's the grandfather of my brother's common law wife, who now owns it.

Boonnnngggggggggg.
