Hi all!
A few things if someone could be so kind....

The answer is moccasins but i can't work out the word play - CC for two centuries but can't fathon the rest out.
Similarly, 8d) is organ grinders.

And stumped on 16D)
Before 1PM and a quarter(7)
Finally(!) 1D)
Function after short contest(7)
Many thanks
