17a feisty
17a. fe(lst)y
Question Author
Thank you both
8a taoist ??? very iffy and requires the A to be wrong
8a. Thomas (tom tom ?)
there are a number of words in an anagram of "i a sect" but I don't know the meanings of any of them would fit the clue for 8a?
Question Author
I did think Thomas

6a which gives the fifth letter (a?) is
Woman not named ,doing a turn in Sodom (4,4)
?O?? ?I??
i thought Mona Lisa but may be wrong
Lot's wife
8a Taoist for 8a is all I can think of too, ta(TT)oist - abstainers (TT) banished, but an "o" missing from tattooist (drummer).
I said it was iffy because I have been unsuccessful in finding the drummer spelt as 'tattoist' (i.e. with single O)
Question Author
Thank you all. Your kindness amazes me

If Lot's wife is correct for 6 down then taoist must be the answer for 9a
There isn't a missing "o" because another slang term for abstainer is "t-to" (pronounced "tee-toe"). As in, "he is a t-to" . I have TAOIST for the answer too.
15a Zebedee (father of James and John, fellow disciples of Judas)
Zee is last letter of American alphabet, b for born in it plus Dee for Scottish valley.
thanks for the info, porilo, i haven't heard of t-to before
