Hello, I would like some help on a cryptic crossword, these are some of the clues:

...and after the beginning of Brothers in Arms you could be in Dire Straits without them (3-5)

Ringo’s drink? I’ve heard he’s a star. (10)

47. Headless giant in charge of something starting musical stress (7)

Thank you :)

Ringo's drink - Betelgeuse - a star

47 is AGOGICS - mAGOG (headless giant) + IC (in charge) + S (something starting)

Could the first one be ARM-BANDS?

Looks a possibility but I can't parse it totally.

and after the beginning of (b) rothers ..... band + in arms

arm bands .....I think it is.

Thank you for the quick replies! Here are some more if you'd like :) :

NEWS! (by the sound of it) but it goes on forever (6)

Blow up blown-up tin leaf. (7)
