don't know the clues but all three given answers are composers . . .
Yes, to all of those - and you will have all the yellow letters which should siurely help.

PS With 35 A, it'd be very worrying if you weren't 'on to' the theme by now!

Thanks, NACW!
I omitted to send the instructions for those who are interested.
Here they are:
Nine unclued lights (all real words) are the names of 35A with one letter misprinted. The correct letters match those that will appear in the shaded squares.
22a. African soldier climbing Indian tree. (4) i??o

Help please.
Teacher, Igbo, African.

Thank you both.

Thanks, NACW, I got all of these except 28(D) NOTANDA, but I'm
really stuck on the last three Unclueds. One final push would be appreciated, thanks!
