One predicting exciting future perhaps, right after great solo plays (10)
I believe the answer is:
astrologer
'one predicting exciting future' is the definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'right after great solo plays' is the wordplay.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'plays' indicates anagramming the letters.
'great'+'solo'='greatsolo'
'greatsolo' with letters rearranged gives 'astrologe'.
'r' put after 'astrologe' is 'ASTROLOGER'.
'perhaps' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for astrologer that I've seen before include "house surveyor" , "Studier of the supposed influence of stars" , "Horoscope producer" , "Compiler of star charts" , "Maker of horoscopes" .)
