1 ac Is the answer in singular or plural form? The wordplay (anagram) suggests a plural ending in 'i' rather than a singular ending in 'o'. Is the plural form therefore the correct entry?

Claudio, I put the I ending. The clue says "Such as", not "one such as".

I enjoyed this puzzle and found it reasonably benign - until the very last light to be filled...

25 Musician not following another (5)

L.TER

So must be LUTER or LATER, right? But I haven't the foggiest which or why!

Help!

Kt, try putting one more letter (an abbreviation) in front of the word to get another sort of musician.

I took 1a as anagram of O (Ring) + BIG +B.

Thanks Mattrom, although my eyebrow is very slightly arched!

A relatively gentle experience after the Listener and Inquisitor. As ever though, one fly in the ointment. 17a 'Hear this for anguish, Charley' (5). There's only one answer that fits really (it's unlikely to be a hunting dog!). Where's the definition? A homophone of catch - as in hear? I can construct my answer from the clue but just can't see a proper definition.

The definition is 'Charley?' (see entry in Chambers), with the wordplay indicating a five-letter sequence which can follow HEAR to produce anguish.

@JackNatter - Doh! I looked up Charley as well and completely failed to relate it to the other option I summarily dismissed. Good job I don't submit them. I think I'd probably have one wrong every time!

Hi, there's just 1d that I am stuck on. No words seem to fit assuming I have the other 4 letters correct which I think I do. Any help will be much appreciated!
