Absolutely jammed at the moment
9a place before Eliot possible producers of the Waste Land (7) --c-s-s The only thing I can see, but no logic, is excuses

1a - 4 letters beginning with P and third letter 1st of 9a, East European boom?

Many thanks in advance

9a locusts
1a pole

[DTCwordfan]

thanks Oldred (and no doubt others behind you) 1a - Pole was my initial thinking - see 9a now Locus + TS
