Guardian 24,713 (Sat 30 May)/Puck – Loss Leader
Posted by rightback on 6th June 2009
Solving time: 13:43
This puzzle was themed around bandleaders, of which an impressive 11 appear in the grid, plus BANDLEADER itself at 21/19dn. The wordplay to the thematic entries (asterisked below) must have been helpful because I managed to work out the ones I hadn’t heard of (about 4), but I imagine a solver with little interest in music would have found this puzzle pretty testing.
