The answers to the following clues all contain the letters BAR, ALE or GIN somewhere in the answer. I have only the 2 listed below left to find, any help will be very much appreciated, Thank You.

1. A psalm or hymn tune (7)
2. Inflammatory infection of the throat (6, 8)

[Calibax]

1 Chorale?

I think 2 might be raging something or other.

2 was answered before as angina pectoris. See this link

[Nannie1959]

thanks, but somehow I dont think angina pectoris is correct as my husband suffers with that and its not a throat infection he has got, more to do with the heart

[grasscarp]

That was why I sent you the link Nannie. I didnt believe it was angina pectoris, but if you read it through it quite clearly shows it listed together with the exact wording of number 2. Maybe the quiz setter got the idea from this page?

[Calibax]

"angina" can be a general term which includes throat infections but "angina pectoris" specifically refers to reduced blood suply to the heart muscles. It may be the answer they are looking for but I don't think it's right.

Wiki is very unreliable.

Thank you everyone, I have put angina, but dont think its correct though, but have had a look around and seems as though throat infections in Poland are called angina!!!

[grasscarp]

I think it should be angina tonsillaris to be correct but that is not 8 letters!

It might be quinsy - something
