Got it: Ellington.

Elton (John) surrounding ling ( = "The Heather" ).

OMG your a genius!! Ive been stuck on that one for weeks!! Thank you so much

Oder is definitely the better fit. Ode, with R under it. Eder is rather contrived - where does "lines" fit?

Currently attempting the listener crossword. Haven't solved one clue yet.. but that's usual for the listener.

ODE (some lines) and a flower (i.e. something that flows) would be the German river the Oder, which flows through Frankfurt.

OK, but the Eder is a river too...

Pretty rubbish clue if you can get two answers and no way to confirm it though.

ALthough, thinking about it, ODE followed by R for run (as in cricket) would be a better fit...
