Musical composition — or craft involving thatch? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

hairwork

'craft involving thatch?' is the definition.
(thatch can mean a mass of hair)

'musical composition' is the wordplay.
'musical' becomes 'hair' (1960s musical).
'composition' becomes 'work' (piece of work).
'hair'+'work'='HAIRWORK'

'or' is the link.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
