Hello lie in king.
The g in 35 d might be wrong. The clue for 28d was ahead __ out (5) which I have answered rings.
Thanks toorak for your suggestion but the answers are always letters.

Toorak meant question 3 = IRS

[bobbinwales]

Ahead rings out was a album by blodwyng pig but its not really that famous

[Lie-in King]

Good one, bobbinwales - Bella, is it the 'G' or 'I' in your pattern that comes from "Rings"?

[Bella28]

Rings gives the g in 35d which may be wrong.
This has always been a hard crossword to complete

[bobbinwales]

Is 35a definitely 60s not 80s or 90s??
Is the I def. right??

[bobbinwales]

"The Gods were an English rock band founded in 1965. The original band members included Mick Taylor (later with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and the Rolling Stones), Brian Glascock, his brother John (later with Jethro Tull), keyboardist Ken Hensley (later with Uriah Heep) and Joe Konas. Lee Kerslake (drums) joined in 1967 and would later also play in Uriah Heep. Greg Lake (later with King Crimson and Emerson, Lake & Palmer) joined in 1967 and left the band after approximately one year."

Must be The Gods. So can we help correct your I what's wrong

[bobbinwales]

Also...."The gods (UK English), or sometimes paradise, is a theatrical term, referring to the highest areas of a theatre such as the upper balconies."

[Lie-in King]

Well done bobb!

[bobbinwales]

I never heard of The Gods even tho' am a big lover of 60s music, my favorite decade....but there was some big names in that band. Imagine if they'd of stayed together. I'll listen to some of there stuff if I can find it later

It could be the gods. That would make the I wrong.
The clue for 33d was _ it up (3). I had answered rip but if gods is the answer 33d will be ?d?
