Having a succession of bands refused entry (6)
I believe the answer is:
barred
'refused entry' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for barred that I've seen before include "Refused entry to local pub" , "Refused access to, say pub" , "Prohibited" , "Precluded, obstructed" , "Wouldn't allow" .)
