Guardian Prize 28596, 1 Down

[nickgascoign]

Hi, we've worked out the theme, and got all but one of the answers:
Down 1 ... classical star back in tune (4).
Any hints please?

diva?

[mallyh]

bottom of your shoe

[emmie]

don't ask me why, its the only thing i can come up with....

[JJ109]

Emmie
Sol + (tun)e = sole
1 with .... = one (sole) thematic

[emmie]

sorry don't understand.

[nickgascoign]

Thanks for all the answers, especially JJ109 with the explanation. I understand Sol = classical name for our star, the Sun, but I think 'back in tune' = e is a bit weak.

[mallyh]

sorry i thought you wanted a clue x

[JJ109]

My apologies Mallyh I missed your answer!

[mallyh]

no need to apologies xx

[nickgascoign]

Sorry mallyh, yes I initially wanted just a clue, and should have thanked you for yours, which gave me the answer, but I wouldn't have understood it without JJ109's explanation. Thanks to both of you.
