Hi Strands fans. Despite getting through this without any clues, this was anything but easy for me. I once had a passing familiarity with current music, working in the office adjacent to NME, but nowadays I'm firmly in my comfort zone of 90s and 2000s classics on vinyl and Apple Music. None of which feature here.

Fortunately, it wasn't too hard to muddle through, especially when I spotted the spangram - GRAMMYWINNERS - starting in the top-left corner and ending up at the bottom of the grid.

That neatly split the board in two, and allowed me to get SWIFT in the bottom-right corner. I was then able to get the two other answers on that side of the board - CROSS and STYLES - quite easily.

The left-hand side was a bit trickier, but fortunately the first answer I found neatly split the grid up: JONES. I was then able to find KING in the bottom left, and HILL to its right. That left just WONDER to complete the puzzle.
