Another neat, well constructed and thoroughly enjoyable puzzle. We have been spoiled recently. On last week's theme - absinthe makes the heart grow fonder. Stay safe! Stay strong!

Help please with parses:
34a Revolutionary previously followed god (4) looks like DEUS ?
28d Start at the back in race for grooms (6) looks like TRAINS

and ...
22d Careless beards - occasionally they could be atreaky (7) ?A???RS
anagram of beards + te ? with 1 letter extra?

got 22d now

sued reversed (old meaning is followed). Yes trains. Race = strain and s goes to the back.

Thanks alwayspuzzled .... funnily enough just watched his film the other night!

Completed the puzzle but couldn't identify the 12 letters in the down clues. Is the first word the colour of a garment? If so could someone kindly indicate the clues where these and the following letters occur.

Ironically earlier this year I passed the house where he was born in Stone City. I never cared for the music so I didn't go round the shrine!

Thanks in advance for anyone who will help

williamseal I am in the same position as you having completed the grid. I have an F for 1d, ie force = raf, but that doesn’t seem to fit any words.

Hi pentomino & williamseal (yes it's the garment you're thinking of), I'm afraid I no longer have the puzzle but force in 1d is ram rather than RAF which provides the first letter.

Hi again williamseal, apologies for what may have been a bum steer. It is a coloured garment but the colour is the second word.

Are we to enter the surname of the singer over the top or his first name, only both have seven letters, so arguably it could be either - or am I missing something.
