Lots to love here but 6D in particular is a beaut

Thanks Ben for a fine crossword and a welcome reminder of a powerful voice a decade on. Nicely worked with the themers - you didn’t highlight these in the notes so I hope I didn’t miss any. Favourite clues included 1a, 11a (neat device), 18a, 27a, 1d, 5d, & 6d.

This was excellent . Thank you BenDR
