European network backing sad song (5)
I believe the answer is:
dirge
This might be a double definition.
'european network backing' is the first definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.
'sad song' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dirge that I've seen before include "Melancholy song" , "Elegy" , "Mournful music" , "air?" , "Funeral song" .)
