Aristo; I think Mattrom 14 is "whistle-blower" REF back + tracks RY

Jon 27 twice corked is the head coming of sherry twice

Geeker 29 REFRACTORY - ACTOR (liuvvie), anag (weird)

Thanks, Paul. Yes, 29 is an indirect (but direct would have been super easy to solve) subbie.

Thanks, guys. I had parsed mattrom’s clue earlier but drew a blank when scanning the offerings just now- brain freeze, embarrassing. And refractory-actor was right there of course. Not getting enough sleep…

Thanks, Paul. I’ve seen corked used like that in a down clue, though ‘twice corked’ is a bit of a stretch I admit. @31 was a later attempt to avoid it.
Btw, the Chambers definition of “ply” here is…
“To row or sail over habitually”
