22d RAPS spar backwards
13d A+head . . . . second rAte + leader
15)d AREAS? If so can't quite get the logic of it
15d Agree AREAS . . . . ERA << +ActresS
I agree - just worked it out, ERA is another word for AGE turned over.

Think you're right with areas Christiana - Actress losing hear is a****S ; over ERA (age) = Areas = parts (How obscure, huh!?) Thanks, and thanks also to rest of you brill ABers
GK excuse me using this post to respond to your reply to my answer of Ella Fitzgerald. The singer you suggested instead- Enya , was only born in 1961!

Ella was synonymous with 'scat' and I stand by my answer.

Somehow felt you must be right, KK - but I only thought you did Cryptic crosswords!! Don't even listen to jazz anyway, but whizz-kid stepson told me it was Enya. Let's see what the compiler reckons next week. GK
Generally I only do cryptics but when I saw the question about one of my favourites I couldn't resist answering.

As you say we'll wait for confirmation next week. K
