A nice start to a Sunday morning, I particularly like 11a, 20a, 1d and 21d (cotd) for the fun surfaces. I went straight in for 9d and then was intrigued about what was hidden in the grid so cracked on... found the answer but unfortunately not familiar with it, I'm too young, just! Other faves 12a, 2d, 26a, 23a, thanks Gennaro
My last one in was 9d and so far haven't spotted the hidden 9d but will have another look. Otherwise, I found this pretty accessible thanks to your sound wordplay. My favourites are 1d, 14a, 23a, 25a, 26a, 4d and 24d. Thanks Gennaro. Edit: It was there in plain sight! I was looking for something more tricky in the grid. I'm not familiar with the 9d but had spotted the other part of the tribute.
