Not that I'm not curious about where all this is going but....

A swallowed E in ABBA's wallet (7)

E for Effort, guys. :-  Now I've got to dodge the Bump Police to keep this thread alive.  If I get busted I hope you lot can at least cobble together some bail money for me. (roll)

Spoiler
I picked ABBA because they were Swedish and because they were musicians.

So... er... something to do with
Spoiler
notes

?  But... I got nothing else...

Hmm... actually...
Spoiler
With the wallet thing... are the notes currency?  Dollars?

The notes are notes.  But the wallet represents currency, yes.

Something like:

Spoiler
Kroenas?
[close]

No idea what it means though but:

Spoiler
Swedish currency is called Krona with an s for the plural, and an e in the middle (swallowed)
[close]

Cassiebsg

Actually...
Spoiler

I believe like that like in danish, plural is achieved with a r at the end, not an s (I know, makes no sense (roll) ). Assuming that is relevant to the puzzle... (laugh)

There are those who believe that life here began out there...

Baron

Just to keep everyone on the right track...
Spoiler
Krona!  Good job.  Except A, E, and Krona are all just clues. :)
[close]

And now das Über Klüe, the last one that I'll give (do not read if you don't want the answer to be obvious!)
Spoiler
What would A and E be to vocalists in ABBA?  How would the currency traders -or indeed a North American cryptic clue maker who has little exposure to anything Swedish except for a bed frame and some lamps that work intermittently (roll) - refer to the currency of their fortune?

Hmm..it's kinda steep. But with a sled I can slide down the slope.

I was going to guess it from the beginning by letter count... but then I thought it'd be better if kept professional :P

Okay, an easy one, possibly:

Flying followers of a little green vegetable. (8)

Baron

Concerning the last solution:
Spoiler
A = la, E = mi, SEK = Swedish Krona symbol

Spoiler
Well, when I eat lima beans I get this flying cloud of methane following me around.... :P  Anyway, the chemical composition of methane is CH4, and on Channel 4 last night  there was another episode of the Undateables, which makes me nauseous and light-headed when I watch it, so I'm going to guess DOWNFALL. :=

Completely wrong, but thanks for sharing your intriguing thought process. :tongue:

Some help:
Spoiler
The word "followers" can also be taken in a bit more... grammatical sense, if that's the right expression.
