I have finished the puzzle but cannot parse one small clue.

Inquisitive lad left club. (4)

The answer must be NOSY ( inquisitive) as it fits all the other parts of the puzzle.

I can see SON (lad) going to the left but where does the Y come from?

Hi Rossim, the only thing I can think of is that it's referring to the abbreviated version of the Y (MCA).

I'm psyching myself up for this week's Everyman.....

Thanks for that Brendan.
Some of the clues in these puzzles are very weak but I hate loose ends.

Don't forget to change your clocks!

Just had a thought!
Y = yankee.
New York Yankees are a club. ????

I think Brendan had it.

Thanks Mamya.
I'd never heard it referred to as just the Y.
I've got the tune stuck in my head now!
