Musician or another heading off to tour America (New Jersey) (8)
I believe the answer is:
banjoist
'musician' is the definition.
(I know that banjoist is a type of musician)
'another heading off to tour america new jersey' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'another' could be 'o' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'o' is found within the answer.
'america' could be 'a' (common abbreviation - e.g. in organisation names) and 'a' is located in the answer.
'new' could be 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament) and 'n' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'or' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for banjoist that I've seen before include "Player of stringed instrument" , "plucky player" , "Musician" , "plucky performer" .)
