66a
1 + 3 for odd (think alcohol) carrying 3 for vessel

thanks, jono - must say Doc/Maskarade does come up with the most obscure definitions ... wonder if he searches Chambers for them ...?

Doing this in the print edition. Just spotted they have published the complete solution on the same page.

Spent hours on this and thoroughly enjoyed. One short of a finish and it's driving me mad! Can anyone help with 28 down. I have *e*c*r*e*s. Nothing spring to mind and I wonder if I have gone wrong somewhere. (My first thought was The Curragh! It fitted but no sort of parse!) Many thanks

As ever! no sooner had I posted I saw the solution!

One minor loose end. Can anyone parse the word chain that begins with the letter I ? Thanks all

Hi William, it’s a letter swap. The artist is French.

Popped in here belatedly to see if anyone had raised a query with the definition in 48a. Apparently not!

I think it’s ok, Rog. In Chambers it’s shown as a historical alternative spelling for a word meaning a slow, sentimental song.

thanks Jono - not the easiest of clues!
