Thanks barny. What a terrible clue - no indication of foreign (or musical) language!

Not the best.

Any hints on the parsing of 22A: Man after hit story that’s hot (10) ?O???U?T?R. There seems to be only one sensible answer. Also the crossing 23D - Toll cut tax at first went down ??E?T

First 4 letters word meaning hit, last 6 think Keaton..

5 letter word meaning 'roll with last removed + t(ax)

Thanks, Scorpiojo. The last couple are always a problem!

*meaning 'toll'...

Finished thanks to hints. One of the least enjoyable that I've done for ages (though I did like 11a)

Any hints on 9ac. Somewhere in asia, hotel's neighbour. I*D*N.

I didn't enjoy it at all (sorry, Paul.)

Your N is wrong. Think NATO
