Usual 2 letters for 'old lady' followed by a contemptuous sound [reversed] def 'nurses' (senior ones).
Usual 2 abbreviations followed by the name of the lead singer of the group.

6 D. Nurses, noun, is the definition. You need a common (in crosswords) two-letter word for 'old lady' then a five-letter 'disrespectful laugh'. The latter is reversed, about.

7 D. Just the the usal 'left', the usual single-letter 'current' and then Police leader (not a cop!). The answer could be described as a 'computer printout'.

Thanks Malone and Drxx - all done. I had got my ending as 'ist' and not 'ism' on the crossing clue so messed up as I couldn't fit the old lady in. The other one totally missed the pop reference. There was a mention re Paris in this as well which I did eventually get as a greek myths reference. Easy to miss these sideways looks. Will be keeping an eye out for first Monday Genius guardian crossword as that was a good challenge.
