14D. State of a Scotsman thanks to an upset (7) I have ?????n? The N is iffy.
22A Musicians making row on river in Oxford, perhaps. (5) I have O?T??.
Could it be octet if my only two letters are correct? I thought Oasis at first but think the T is correct. Was thinking of Isis.
17A. Spring Tide announced. (5) I have ???n? Thought of neaps but it doesn't fit.
All help very much appreciated.

17a bound - tied sounds like tide

What's the 'London Drinker' hope it's not one of my sons?

[retrocop]

Some interesting answers. Bound sounds good for 17a. That would leave 14d as ?O?T?N? If octet is correct. Could octet be parsed for me please?
