Really enjoyed that. Thanks

Clever quality grid. Shame I didn’t know my semitones as it would have helped. I knew a few of the clues but couldn’t pull it together. Drinks line was great. Ty.

Nice and easy apart from the applause group, because it was a different type of link from the other three. V good.

Took me ages to see what was going on then, lunt with bee was so ridiculous it had to be, and that was the key. Well done and thank you

Very good. I think Acrid should be Acid though - Acrid is more bitter, than sour, so I feel Acid is closer to your link word. I'm just nitpicking because I saw the other three in that group straight off, but solved it third, when it was obvious Acrid was the only thing left that could fit.

Malcontent, I wondered about that too but checked a thesaurus and they used it as a synonym, so I left it.

Fun grid

IT'S 17:11 I NEED MY DINNER

Fell flat on this one, 'Lunt with bee' is clever though. Thanks for the grid!

A semitone up is not necessarily a sharp, neither semitone down a flat I'm afraid . . .
