2. Angel (Hidden in the clue)

3. Reed+y (anagram 'deer' + algebraic unknown 'y')

[johnalex]

5. Slang (to 'sing' means to inform, so 'sang' around 'L' for 'Latin' gives pseudonym for 'jargon')

[kosoro]

Notes building is Blocked?

[kosoro]

Latin jargon SLANG

[beerbelly]

no.1 = asia

[johnalex]

4. Agree with Kosoro  -  'Notes' = ED (music), preceded by 'Block' (as in block of flats) 

5. Slang ('Sang' means 'informed', around 'L' for 'Latin')

[beerbelly]

no.6 = rhombus
anagram of hours & mb for doctor

Many thanks to all that replied.  Crossword is now complete Ta.

[valerieb1254]

Rhombus

[johnalex]

6. Rhombus (shape like a squashed box.  Anagram of 'hours' around MB 'Bachelor of Medicine  -  Doctor)

[shaneystar]

Doctor spent hours getting out of shape
Rhombus ...Hours and Mo (doctor)

[beerbelly]

sorry did not explain no.1
when =AS
I get A =IA = ASIA

[kosoro]

I was looking at it a different way johnalex...... start of building is B then stopped =LOCKED.... Blocked

[beerbelly]

thats the way i saw it kosoro

[johnalex]

Hi Kosoro  -  Yes, nearly two solutions, although 'notes' needs to be accounted for.
