I did have 12 wrong. I have now filled the grid, having got medical advice from my wife on 8d, but I still haven't parsed either of these.

12a parses 1,1 then a 3 letter word for trouble inside a 3 letter bank acronym

Thanks jono. I'm not sure the "one" in 8d is quite fair.

I think perhaps you need to think of listener as the organ (singular) not the person doing the listening

Hi Hywel,
4a is a rather old fashioned word for commotion. Parses 1,5.
9a the hands in question are dealt.
