At end of day, prayers still no good (8)

I believe the answer is:

evensong

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'at end of day prayers' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'still no good' is the wordplay.
'still' becomes 'even so' (both can mean 'nonetheless').
'no good' becomes 'ng' (abbreviation).
'evenso'+'ng'='EVENSONG'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for evensong that I've seen before include "6 [SERVICE] ?" , "Anglican service" , "... Prayers" , "Late afternoon church service" , "Vespers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
