Performer to refrain moving rig left (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
chorus girl
'performer' is the definition.
(chorus girl is a kind of performer)
'refrain moving rig left' is the wordplay.
'refrain' becomes 'chorus' (synonyms).
'moving' indicates an anagram (letters are moved around).
'left' becomes 'l' (common abbreviation).
'rig' with letters rearranged gives 'gir'.
'chorus'+'gir'+'l'='CHORUS-GIRL'
'to' acts as a link.
(Another definition for chorus girl that I've seen is " Entertaining lass".)
I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
