Bash with sharp poke on leg? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shindig

'bash' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'sharp poke on leg?' is the wordplay.
'sharp poke' becomes 'dig' (I've seen this before).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'leg?' becomes 'shin' (I have seen 'Lower leg ' mean 'shin' so perhaps 'leg' could also mean 'shin').
'dig' after 'shin' is 'SHINDIG'.

'with' is the link.

(Other definitions for shindig that I've seen before include "Lively celebration (informal)" , "Big lively party (colloq.)" , "Bash" , "Noisy knees-up" , "Lively party, knees-up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
