Comments on the clue
1.Either Jesus is playing the tuba, or this clue is a bit too irreverent for me.
2.I was about to give this points as quite amusing but then checked the anagram!
3.Refreshingly different tack to most and works really well.
4.You have an interloping h and an absent u.
5.Amusing surface, but a faulty anagram
6.Looked excellent at first but unfortunately the anagram doesn't work!
7.wld be great if anagram worked – no h and u left over
8.Beautiful surface – almost got my five points until I checked the anagram (a rogue H misplacing a U). Really feel for whoever this is!
9.ANOTHER faulty anagram (to go with with #1)
