Musician rings isle (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bandsman

'musician' is the definition.
(I know that bandsman is a type of musician)

'rings isle' is the wordplay.
'rings' becomes 'bands' ('band' can be a synonym of 'ring').
'isle' becomes 'man' (the Isle of Man is an example).
'bands'+'man'='BANDSMAN'

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