I believe the answer is:

joseph

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'lloyd webber performer' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'banter about recording' is the wordplay.
'banter' becomes 'josh' (I've seen this in another clue).
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'recording' becomes 'EP' (short for Extended Play, type of record).
'josh' enclosing 'ep' is 'JOSEPH'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for joseph that I've seen before include "He of the amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat" , "Name" , "OT dreamer" , "Husband to Virgin Mary" , "Lloyd Webber musical hero" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
