    The clues are far too obscure for a 69 year-old Brit! I didn't understand references to US musicians. "Patisserie" is a pastry, or a shop selling them, not one who makes them. I'm afraid that I gave up.

      Good catch, I meant to use "Patissier," should be fixed now!
      Unfortunately the current music references are some of my favorite clues to write, sorry that it's not really your area. Thanks for attempting!

      Tough but fun, most of the pop music references flew over my tiny head too
