Great crossword, thanks Islander! Lovely theme, although I initially thought it was based on 23a as that and 9a were among the first answers in. So many good clues. My favourites were 7a, 11a, 25a, 14d, 17d and 18a which deserves special mention for the clever construction.
Very good puzzle islander - much to like - certainly on the gentler side! 18a is nicely and ingeniously clued, and in 20a I like the implied &lit (did others notice?). And I'm pleased you managed to include 25a .... (SPOILERS below)
Pleasant crossword with many good clues. I liked 7a, 20 and 14d, and 22a made me laugh. Unlike others, I didn't think 18a quite worked (but each to their own) and 23 at the very least needed a question mark! Not a theme I know much about, but at least I recognised all the words! Good fun, thanks.
Thanks for the puzzle, Islander. I'm not especially familiar with the theme, though there were no words unknown to me. I like 11a, 18a, 20a, 22a, 24a (though I feel it would benefit from a slight tweak to make it clearer that the answer is a noun), 17d....
