Struggling with last two:

18a "What's behind bar? Tango" (4): I've got B ? T ?
and can only come up with BUTT which you could find behind a bar. I can see the T for Tango but not sure about the BUT for "what's".

26a "Weak trombone initially repelled a musical group perhaps" (5). I've got T ? O ? P and if right can only come up with TROMP as a sort of weak trombone, but am stumped on the musical group

Any help much appreciated

26 Troop, perhaps - Poor T(rombone)/repelled (backwards)

18 I think it's Bar= But as in 'except' (all bar one, say) - and Butt = Behind/Backside.

Thanks malone, that would work.

Also, forgot to mention one more struggle: 16a "Strongly flavoured red wine, not the best quality (4); I've got ? A ? Y. Was looking at RACY or GAMY but can't see the red wine.

+ T (tango)

Again, many thanks

Gam(a)y?
