Band bringing fuel meeting down town (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wicklow

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

'band bringing fuel' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'meeting down town' is the wordplay.
'meeting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'down' becomes 'low' (similar in meaning).
'town' becomes 'wick' (I have seen 'Scottish town ' mean 'wick' so perhaps 'town' could also mean 'wick').
'low' after 'wick' is 'WICKLOW'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wicklow that I've seen before include "part of Ireland?" , "port buildings here in Ireland" , "Irish port, town, county" , "Irish county team" .)
