Thanks again, Zozozo. I'll be pleased to use that word for 23 Down and that will negate my obsession with a bird noise possibly made by the Greek! Even so, with the few
remaining "top-up" letters I have. when applied to that particular clue, I can make either a piece of string or a bulb.
I solved the bird one, thanks, but regrettably, still haven't
solved 13 Across Pt.2, despite the extra letter from the recently inserted bird.

A bulb

13 think grabs

Thanks a lot, Zozozo - good of you to help! I'm still scratching my head on 1 Down Pt.2, now having a choice
of only two letters to append, One letter for here and one for 17 Down Pt.1, the only other one I haven't solved, Wondering if the server is a sportsman, waiter or a computer site!
Also, just to confirm, is 16 Down Pt.1 (3,5) a receptacle for keeping a drink product in, only I couldn't fully parse my answer.

The server is a thing not a person (and not related to a computer)

Yes to 16 d - a word for everyone inside the notes

Many thanks, once again! Will look at this again later. Off to put my party hat on - hope you have a good day!

Thanks Zozozo for confirming the bulb for 23d right. I really don't understand how a server can be a thing, so another hint would be helpful. This one needs an extra letter.

I am stuck on the north west corner in both grids. Any hints for7ac both grids, 8ac left grid and 2d left grid will be gratefully received.

I've now thought of the server and have the answer and the extra letter for 17d.

My last one, I think: 26A first grid, .E.S.N. (7) Part of organ in garret in Acton. I can only see a word for windpipe but no idea on parsing. Help please!

Cymro, the answer, six letters, to the clue is simply in the clue - the entry involves an extra letter, which you have.
