Excuse me for being a dunce, but what the heck is 22? I can only think MUPPET, but have no idea of the why…

Otherwise excellent, as usual.

Number in a cryptic usually means song, so it’s a cryptic way of saying that his voice is high, but disguised in a common phrase meaning something else entirely.

So his number was up. Misleading suggestion of dead, typically Paul.

Further to the point that Muck was making about 17, I feel the same about 5, CASTRATO. Am I overthinking it?

Mild quibble though, as I was happy with all the other clues. Some fun words (although TARTRATE pops up a bit too often in crosswords) and great &lits – I loved 24dn, 19, 2.
