Songs, etc., expected at the conclusion of concerts (5)
I believe the answer is:
duets
'songs' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'expected at the conclusion of concerts' is the wordplay.
'expected' becomes 'due' (similar in meaning).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'the' becomes 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects).
'conclusion of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'concerts' is 's'.
'due'+'t'+'s'='DUETS'
'etc' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for duets that I've seen before include "Songs sung by two" , "Works for two" .)
