Another great example, Chris, which makes it even more inexplicable for the use of the vague "elsewhere'.

But, I've said enough on this:-)

Thanks Chris, I’ve got 1d and see the double thing. No nearer with 19 though, but there are lots of pointers and I’m trying to follow them

Just say a bit more Brendan! I can’t work out the definition so can’t use all the hints!

If that's still 4a, the definition is "player".

Hi Bobs,

4a - the definition is "player" - one who plays an instrument.

Wordplay is 1,4,1 beginning with "old" and the 4 being the subject of my earlier posts.

Also found it relatively easy compared to other Brendan puzzles. However I'm stuck on 4ac and 26ac. Helpful hints much appreciated.

Hi freddycat21
4a has been much discussed above.
26a definition "twigs". "Bright" seems superfluous, though I suppose it makes the surface better.

Bren, @49 regarding “holding” in 4a…I had the exact the same thought. Agree “with” is far better.
