Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a musical artist phonetically suggested by what you have to do four times to complete the grid
I was fortunate enough to have heard the announcement "Mind the gap" with my own ears. However, that experience didn't inspire this meta, so if you haven't been as lucky you won't be disadvantaged in any way. The answer to the meta is a musical artist phonetically suggested by what you have to do four times to complete the grid. Best of luck!

Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
