17a) Perhaps Prospero's island toured by players (8) C-B---S-. Is it Ca(Bali)st, because I don't know who Prospero is, can anyone tell me. if it is Cabalist, then that will put a (L) in the middle of the second word in 3d making it A-R-N,-O-L-N-.

The simger is Aaron Collins.
Prospero is a character from Shakespeare's "The Tempest"

There was an American blues singer called Aaron Collins.
Prospero is the main character in Shakespeare's The Tempest. Also on the island lived Caliban, which may give you Cabalist, though I confess I am unable to see why.

Thanks a lot. I got Cabalist from Island= Bali inside Players= Cast. But in 3d) I only get the double A in Aaron Collins from edges of ArenA, don't really get the rest of it, what do you think?

BALI (island) toured by players CAST = CA(BALI)ST

I am trying to work it out.
Possibly AA +R(run) +ON(over) +COLLINS - is there by any chance a cricketer called Collins?
