Article slammed performance (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recital

'performance' is the definition.
(I know that recital is a type of performance)

'article slammed' is the wordplay.
'slammed' indicates an anagram.
'article' anagrammed gives 'RECITAL'.

(Other definitions for recital that I've seen before include "Soloist's performance" , "Concert performed by a solo musician" , "Article about musical entertainment" , "(Usually solo) concert" , "Article (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
