Finding it hard work today. Can anyone help me with this please:
12a Music centre with characteristic sound (6)
?T?A?T
I'm confident of the letters. I can't find much that fits, and see no relevance to any of the possibilities.

s(centre of muSic)trait(characteristic)

and strait as in strait of gibraltar

Strait

If you need any other nudges let me know

I thought it meant strait as in rigorous or sound?

Thanks to both - strait as in "sound".
Still 5 left - I may be back!

Just the two 24s now. A hint for 24d perhaps?
United Nations bar deposed king (4)
??O?
"Deposed king" is usually ZOG, but I don't see how that fits here.

A word for bar with a k missing

Not easy, that one -- took a few moments! Is it worth looking at, you two?

Thanks, djawhufc - all done now.
