Musicians reportedly purloin, getting prohibited (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
steel band
'musicians' is the definition.
(group of musicians)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for steel band that I've seen before include "Caribbean ensemble" , "(Players of) improvised drums" , "Musicians playing oil drums" , "drummers" , "Team of beaters" .)
