Listen With Others

I found this a fun solve – thanks Phi!

I was caught out by what seemed to me as an alternative answer to 19a’s: Disgusting tart curtailed fun at the fair (6)
I had read this as potentially a clue with a word reversed in it, namely:
Disgusting trat curtailed fun at the fair (6)
Which I then parsed as TRA(t)+SHY, what you do at a coconut shy at the fair. Did TRASHY mean disgusting? Well, I convinced myself it was close enough – and this held up the rhs of the puzzle for much longer than i should have allowed.

Eventually I saw tart could be changed to start, so leading to PUT+RID(e). Phew!

This was a neat construction with an interesting theme – thanks Phi!
