Done about 75% and stuck on a few:
3d They appear in verges mostly to help greetin in the Channel Islands (6) BACC??
17a God smothers dismayed interjection in mid-flow (5) L??AD
22a Perhaps belonging to lairy Australian in ramshakle inn (4) N?I?
16d Descending with tingle runner records monarch touring island (9) MO??S?ING
There is most likely a misprint in the definition and the solution be one letter longer than stated in the bracket.
Any hints appreciated

They appear in verges mostly to help greetin in the Channel Islands (6) BACC??
Verges becomes verses, 7 letters. Bac(k) help mostly+ hi (greeting) in Channel islands CI gives Bacchii= "metrical feet of one short syllable followed by two long ones"?

Descending with tingle runner records monarch touring island
Tingle becomes "single" Monos (records) +monarch - king +islands ii - monoskiing - descending with single runner?

Wow
Thanks ab - I think I'd have struggled to get those!

And the other one, 22a, is A for Australian in INN* giving NAIN which is Scots for belonging to, so 'lairy' must have a misprint I guess to get it to mean Scots!

lairy = laird

17a is LAHAR (your last letter is wrong). Mid flow becomes mudflow.

I don't know about you, Orson, but I wasn't very happy with the hyphen in 'mid-flow' / 'mud-flow! I suppose it wasn't difficult to suss but that doesn't make it right.

Thanks nick, cruciverbalist & orson - I managed to get these.
Struggling to see clearly on last four:
36a TUYERE burning? don't understand old do?
20d BERCEAU ? but don't understand definition
34a ?A?A
29d RE??
Have nine of the ii's, so last one must be in these four. Any gentle hints are appreciated

36a UT< is old word for DO as in music. Misprint is 'little noSe ...'
20d ROM< (traveller) + CEAU (sounds like SO!)
34a Misprint is Letters - put 'one' in a god
29d Answer is hidden after some bits are removed - misprint obviously 'nOt'
