looks good, divebuddy.

I can't even see where ROLL comes from

[scorpiojo]

If Bone is correct, it would be RO?O

[Mamyalynne]

Romo?

[fiction-factory]

ROMO could be okay if that is a word- MOR is the music, and I assume revival indicates reversing it, then O for round- although the round would then have to be part of the definition

[fiction-factory]

sorry- just seen the link. Got it now

[fiction-factory]

Yes if clue included an A "pop revival from A person travelling round"?

[fiction-factory]

Oh. I'm not sure now.
