Brahms and Liszt are skint in former homeland (8)
I believe the answer is:
transkei
'former homeland' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'brahms and liszt are skint' is the wordplay.
'brahms and liszt' indicates anagramming the letters (Cockney rhyming slang for 'pissed', i.e. drunk).
'are'+'skint'='areskint'
'areskint' with letters rearranged gives 'TRANSKEI'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for transkei that I've seen before include "Old apartheid state" , "somewhere in old Africa" , "part of Eastern Cape" , "Homeland for South Africans no longer" , "former homeland" .)
