Special Instructions: There is a theme, but it is a pure self-indulgence and it will be neither help nor hindrance to anyone, unless you are a fanatical live music fan up t'North. Starting with 9a/23a, the annotations will reveal all and I hope one or two of you may be curious to explore the references. If not, I still hope you enjoy the puzzle for itself!

Thanks Baldur, good fun with plenty of amusing tricks as per. Faves 11a, 23a, 24a, 8d and the sneaky 19d. And great to discover some new 19d too. Spoilers ...

Thanks Baldur for a perfectly understandable bit of self indulgence. I enjoyed clues like 4a (wacky surfaces can be fun), 15a, 25a, 2d, and 14d. More in reply.

A couple of NHOs but, as you say, fairly clued. Smiles all round, especially for 22a, 7d, 14d, 16d, and 20d. PS โ€ฆ Save My Soulโ€™s a banger.

A bit late to the party Baldur, I started this at home and finished it in Slovenia! Good fun, thanks, and great to learn about the theme. Nothing really to add to other comments, so just some favourites: 4a, 11a, 18a, 2d and 5d
