I can only think of Mums and something to do with fire.

 

Nope. Think 'pasty' (the skin complexion not the foodstuff) when considering this band's best-known song.

Procol Harum?

[Trumo]

Is that the answer and if so how does it work ? 

 

"Women of the house who love our very own Lifey (6,5)"

 

Lifey (lifetime fan) is Col, and a harem is loosely defined as women of the house in a Muslim family. Since they love hm, they are very much pro-Col. So, a harem that is pro-Col becomes Procol Harum.

 

It makes more sense than equating 'Arctic' with 'lost' anyway.

[Trumo]

1. People who make money out of people who lend the use of their trabs to those who will pay for such things (7,5)

2. Finley ate fruit preserve while staring at his reflection (10)

3. Fellas earning a crust (3,2,4)

4. Montezuma's SLR (5,6)

5. A quintet of dinosaurs (8,1) [or 8,4]
