    Hello solvers, and thanks for giving my puzzle a look. I hope you had fun and that it wasn't too tricky. Let me know how you got on in the comments below. In the meantime, here's the wash-up:
    ACROSS. 1A. anag. USE. 3A. live = BE + dance = BOP. 6A. bury = INTER + publicity = PR + alien = ET. 7A. Double def. 8A. subtraction of nothing = O from Marx = HARPO. 11A. dance = BALL + first letters of "Elton", "roughly" + anag. IAN. 12A. temperature = T + disturbance = EDDY. 13A. cryptic def.
    DOWN. 1D. reversal of blades = FINS + loud = F. 2D. anag. NET + went fishing = ANGLED. 3D. anag. RIB + date = D. 4D. pub = BAR + staff = BAR + anag. INA. 5D 9D. double def. 10D. insertion of previously = EX in first letters of "shake", "your". 11D. reversal of key = TAB.
