French composer recalled job on island in Ireland (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
erik satie
'french composer' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'recalled job on island in ireland' is the wordplay.
'recalled' says the letters should be written backwards (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'job' becomes 'task' (synonyms).
'on island in' becomes 'ire' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'ireland' becomes 'ie' (two letter country code).
'task'+'ire'='taskire'
'taskire' reversed gives 'eriksat'.
'eriksat'+'ie'='ERIK SATIE'
Can you help me to learn more?
