Artist following the right instrument (8)
I believe the answer is:
theremin
'instrument' is the definition.
(I know that theremin is a type of electronic instrument)
'artist following the right' is the wordplay.
'artist' becomes 'emin' (British artist Tracey Emin).
'following' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'the'+'r'='ther'
'emin' after 'ther' is 'THEREMIN'.
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
