Caught wedding band around end of May performing The Waterworks (6)

I believe the answer is:

crying

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

'performing the waterworks' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'caught wedding band around end of may' is the wordplay.
'caught' becomes 'c' (cricket abbreviation).
'wedding band' becomes 'ring' (I've seen this before).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'end of' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'may' is 'y'.
'ring' placed around 'y' is 'rying'.
'c'+'rying'='CRYING'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for crying that I've seen before include "Lamentable" , "Lachrymose" , "shouting" , "Shedding tears" , "Tearful" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
