I've managed to solve nearly all the bottom half of this, but the top half is proving elusive.

Solutions to the following might kick-start my sagging grey cells :
1A - Manage to keep down an American roll and glass of beer contained (9)
????U????
6A - Protective cover, one Fortune had over temple in Rome (7)
??????L
&
15A - Need no guidance to cope with small pigs, including one very small creature (3, 6)
??N ?T???F

I also have two interconnected clues in the lower half giving me grief, viz :
49D - Discuss time to introduce English book (6)
?E???E
&
55A - Persisting with an attempt to perform choral work abandoned by Society (7)
??I?I?G

Any assistance gratefully received

6, capitol.

15, Run itself.

49, Debate.

49d D EB ATE

1, Subjugate.

55, Abiding.

Rusty

Many thanks. Had you thought of altering your cognomen to "Not-so-rusty"?

I still can't get a Choral Work out of ABIDING, though.......... Probably a lack of imagination on my part, as usual.

55, A bid (s)ing.
