Crossword Genius

Friendly face on choir, oddly (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cordial

'friendly' is the definition.
('cordial' can be similar in meaning to 'friendly')

'face on choir oddly' is the wordplay.
'face' becomes 'dial' (dial is a kind of face**).
'on' says to put letters next to each other.
'oddly' indicates alternate letters.
The alternate letters of 'choir' are 'cor'.
'dial' after 'cor' is 'CORDIAL'.

(Other definitions for cordial that I've seen before include "Pleasant - soft drink" , "stimulating drink" , "Hearty - drink" , "Agreeable - drink" , "Hearty, affectionate" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
