Thank you rusty. Xavi makes sense according to google. Texas fits but how would it work? Is it another pop group I've not heard of?

Texas are/were a band from Glasgow.
Guitar can be called an "axe"" in slang, but I am struggling to see the parse!

Thank you again rusty.

Glad to help, David!

28d. Scots is another name for taxes. Axe is a guitar, so taxed with guitar back up would be t(exa)s, the group! I also reckon there is a letter missing in the 24d clue. Star wearing flower’s a hippie icon. Makes sense if it was “start” not “star” when the answer is Donovan!

Nova is a star, Don is a river,. (flower)

Thanks for the parse for "Texas", Simmo.

Glad to help Rusty!

Thanks Mattrom, I was overthinking it!!
