27a Dodgy tabs found in stomach (4) R??M
32a Island instruments debut on Taransay (4) ???E

How do i get the associated word that goes with the 6 wordplay only clues..
e.g.for 14a A cry of joy following lap dancing....answer is ALPHA

[ProfessorMaisie]

They're both thematic (answers = GUEST - Es inside GUT + GUES+T).

[ProfessorMaisie]

ALPHA is a normal answer to a normal clue - the def is 'A'.

For the thematics, saladdodger, look at the GUEST entry in Chambers.

Thanks ProfessorMaisie
I'd never have got this without your nudge.
However... I still can't parse the thematic 17 across. "Every 5th of June got drunk opening screwtop!" with the answer Guest.
Can anyone help?
I'd be grateful
