Thanks to the elite band who entered this weekend’s challenge. All entrants received votes for one or more clues. Paul receives the honour of most votes overall (9) despite being split over four clues and as such doesn’t quite make the podium.

That honour goes to PaulH15 and Baccy@17 tied on 5 votes each… and out in front, a clear winner with 8 votes, Baccy@6 with…

Inconstant republican leader's intervention in ice cap mismanagement (7)

Congratulations Baccy.
For your prize, two clips from the The Devil’s Violinist, the first featuring Paganini’s Caprice No.24 …

PS. To all - be sure to check the forum on Tuesday morning… I may have a little something for you ;-)

Ttfn!

Very kind, as I should really have tweaked my definition into a noun. Still learning.
