Cryptic crossword No 3,198

Looks like I’m the welcoming party! So welcome aboard Beak - and with a very nice debut crossword. Generally a good mix of sound clueing with some neat surfaces. I particularly liked 8a, (12a), 20a, 4d, 5d and 19d. Refreshing to have some contemporary references, and ok by me to have one Americanism balanced by one for Londoners. Only real quibble was with the definition in 26a. Thanks for the fun!
