Ok so I have now inserted clover at 3down which means that it must be pieces of eight and that they have given the wrong numbers in the clue it should have read 6/2/5 not 5/2/6, as Danny said clue reads musical pieces.... Sorry to have caused you all such a headache so thank you to captain2 baldric and Danny I owe you all a drink!
....and lunch! Going for mine now it is resolved - well done.
musical items octet performed for money once

Items suggests pieces
once suggests piece
not a good clue
I think once refers to 'money once'

I suppose the clue would have been ok had they not messed up on the number count which was what caused the confusion, but thanks once again for all your help.
