Minstrel with a pipe returned at end of dance (9)
I believe the answer is:
balladeer
'minstrel' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a pipe returned at end of dance' is the wordplay.
'pipe' becomes 'reed' (reed pipe is a kind of pipe**).
'returned' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'at end of' says to put letters next to each other.
'dance' becomes 'ball' (ball is a kind of dance).
'reed' in reverse letter order is 'deer'.
'a'+'deer'='adeer'
'adeer' put after 'ball' is 'BALLADEER'.
'with' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for balladeer that I've seen before include "One making a song" , "One sings" , "Minstrel" , "pop singer" .)
