Attractive gesture current in the North (4)
I believe the answer is:
beck
I believe this is a double definition.
'attractive gesture' is the first definition.
(gesture to summon or attract someone)
'current in the north' is the second definition.
(Northern English term for a stream)
(Other definitions for beck that I've seen before include "Stream (N. England)" , "Poetic gesture" , "Call for attention" , "burn" , "Northern stream" .)
