Change key after party rejected music. (8)

22a Nocturne - 'Con(servative)' (rejected; back) + 'turn E'

Nocturne

[roslyn251254]

characters at 7d, 1d, 11a, 25a, 10a .. suppose the 6th must be 5,21

[davidas]

Thanks. I should have got that!

BUT I still can only find four characters!

[Lie-in King]

I could only see 5, made it 6 by including the main themed character - poorly worded instructions to a generally very weak crossword, IMO.

[Mamyalynne]

It wasn't a good puzzle at all IMO.

[davidas]

Sorry Lie-in King I had five. I agree about the quality and poor wording. No wit to be found other than your name.
