S & B York – puzzle by Brigster

 It was once again a great crossword meeting, last Saturday in York.
See the comments from #45 onward in the most recent York S & B blog – to be found in the ‘Announcements’ section.
Many thanks to the Great Man himself (and to Jane) for organising a party with lovely food and company alike.

John’s Elgar puzzle has already been impressively blogged by crypticsue on Big Dave’s website: NTSPP 298.
Dalibor‘s crossword can be found in the post directly below this one.

So, do not read any further yet if you still want to do or finish this crossword.
