Crossword Genius

A tune Gore played to followers (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entourage

'followers' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a tune gore played' is the wordplay.
'played' indicates anagramming the letters.
'a'+'tune'+'gore'='atunegore'
'atunegore' is an anagram of 'ENTOURAGE'.

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for entourage that I've seen before include "Staff" , "The people accompanying a VIP" , "Group of followers" , "Support team" , "Group of attendants" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
