I thought I was doing so well but I'm stuck on the last three!
18A 'Current concern being weak'(6)
24A 'Row onto sand, finding port'(7)
19D 'Building where virgin mother cradles Jesus, say.'
Please help me, someone.

20A - you are looking for a word meaning "row" as in "loud racket" which is preceded by a sand feature. The answer is a port in the southern hemisphere.

19D. Try putting the name of the Virgin mother around what Jesus was to her, and you will produce a word referring to building.

That will give you another letter in 18A which I think you will then be able to solve.

Nice hint Aristotle - 24 rather than 20 though.
Letters for the last one, LittelHoney

I got the last one from your hint for that, even though I didn't know previously how long it was!
Well prompted!
