23D Uniformly grey, they cried: 'Blue Murder!' (4) R _ B _
18A Good will be joined after a short seasonal appearance from the past. (1-3,6) _ - _ _ S SPIRIT
59A Mess with Margot, would you - and she playing alongside superman? (6) _ I _ D _ R
70D If only by half, this is the end. (3) _ I _

Many thanks. It's a horrible crossword, full of sloppy clues, but if you're not in, you can't win...

Could 18A be X-mas Spirit? (Told you it's a poor crossword...).

Thanks, Captain2, I missed that when I searched in advance of posting.
Thanks, FF, I'll go with that, I can't do any better.

I'd hang on for a second opinion- Mamyalynne for example is quite good with these

They are, FF. Phoenix is best cryptic crossword in Ireland in my opinion.
