In this way, a band is flying high (7)
I believe the answer is:
soaring
'flying high' is the definition.
'soaring' can be an answer for 'high' (thesaurus). I am not certain of the 'flying' bit.
'in this way a band' is the wordplay.
'in this way' becomes 'so'.
'band' becomes 'ring' (a ring is a band of metal).
'so'+'a'+'ring'='SOARING'
'is' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for soaring that I've seen is " rising to great heights".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
