American blues show, involving tango, something enjoyed in Irish pub do (10,5)
I believe the answer is:
democratic party
'american blues' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't understand how they can define each other.
'show involving tango something enjoyed in irish pub do' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'show' could be 'demo' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'demo' is located in the answer.
'tango' could be 't' (phonetic alphabet: alpha, bravo, charlie etc.) and 't' is found within the answer.
'do' could be 'party' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'party' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'craic' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for democratic party that I've seen is " Republican's opponents?".)
