Bash bone and make a hole (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shindig

'bash' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bone and make a hole' is the wordplay.
'bone' becomes 'shin' (shin is a kind of bone).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'make a hole' becomes 'dig' (I've seen this in another clue).
'shin'+'dig'='SHINDIG'

(Other definitions for shindig that I've seen before include "Bash" , "Lively party, knees-up" , "Noisy disturbance" , "Large and noisy party or quarrel" , "Hidings (anag) - party" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
