Composer about to enter live performance (5)
I believe the answer is:
greig
'composer' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'about to enter live performance' is the wordplay.
'about' becomes 're' (regarding).
'to enter' is an insertion indicator.
'live performance' becomes 'gig' (I've seen this before).
're' going into 'gig' is 'GREIG'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for greig that I've seen is " Former England cricket captain".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
