Maiden’s going out with band member (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sideman

'band member' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'maiden's going out' is the wordplay.
'going out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'maidens' with letters rearranged gives 'SIDEMAN'.

'with' is the link.

(Another definition for sideman that I've seen is " Jazz musician".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
