In audition, change bird -- 15 will be at it one day (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
altar rail
'15 will be at it one day' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'in audition change bird' is the wordplay.
'in audition' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue (audition can mean hearing).
'change' becomes 'alter' ('alter' can be a synonym of 'change').
'bird' becomes 'rail' (rail is a kind of bird).
'alter' is a homophone of 'altar'.
'altar'+'rail'='ALTAR RAIL'
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
