That's great, thanks very much Dja.

Thanks smartie. I hadn’t realised there were two entries in BRB for bongo.

Greetings from the lower division. After three successive weeks when I failed to complete this one proved to be the easiest to date. Judging by previous posts this seems to be an accepted view. I do so enjoy easier clues (there was scarcely a googly in site) and a more challenging theme.

Can I have some help with 29a and 29d, please? Just hints, thank you.

Part of ascending scale [Iolanthe] performed on her own (4)
??L?

Forced male voice drops opening trio for [second] row (5)
?ett?

First one is two notes in order

Second one is row as in argument

A very high pitched singer with the first 3 letters removed

Sorry meant to say the notes are back to front in terms of where they are in the scale

Ignore post 26. I was right first time.

I had a heavy night!

I don't think the claimant actually chose where to press his claim. 35a had already decided the place.

Thanks, dja. Good to have a Listener that I can actually do, well with a bit of help anyway :)

Hi Peoples; - 24 can be parsed only via the preamble...
so I'm puzzled as to whether to use the noun or the verb 3rd pp?
Plz, anyone advise on the suggested syntax as I believe both may be considered grammatically correct?
