My grid is complete but could some clever person explain the wordplay of these clues please?
10a Volcanic islands around which to hold true gliding - answer is glissando
7d Italian with intelligence and no hooks inserted - answer is nuncio
19d Notes, set 1, I'm surprised to acquire - answer is ready money
Thanks for any explanations

19d. Set = ready 1 = one I'm surprised = my (!)
altogether = ready money

Thanks Colin

10a I can only think that "hold true" = go
as glissando is an anagram of "islands" and "go"
and can be interpreted to mean gliding. You may know it is a musical term.

Thanks Colin - should have spotted the anagram!

Got the other one too now - n unci o - hooks(unci) inside no
Thanks for earlier help & goodnight
