night owl

Happy New Year everybody!
There is only one I am stuck on but no-one else has mentioned it. 22across - Brown mistress initially lifting. ?A?E?
Could it be the forename of a veteran Brown who sang about being a sex machine?
Whether it is or not I don't get the clue!
Can anyone help please?

Thanks Mamya. It all makes sense now!
I didn't think anyone would reply so quickly so I went away for a while. I thought I was the only night owl!

Happy New Year to all. I remember when the idea of a year 2000 seemed impossible. Now 2014..........
Please, someone, if 5d is Calais, tell me why !!

I struggled to see 5d too. It is CALAIS. Look very carefully at the clue........it's very clever, I think!

And blewyn newydd da to you Jazzgirl. I like the way the concert is on radio too, so you can hear it all over the house. I`ve been watching the preparations and rehearsals `on the red button`.too. Mags.
