Pitch in the direction of Geordieland? (4)
I believe the answer is:
tone
'pitch' is the definition.
(tone is a kind of pitch)
'in the direction of geordieland?' is the wordplay.
'in the direction of' becomes 'to'.
'geordieland?' becomes 'ne' (Geordies are from Tyneside in the North East).
'to'+'ne'='TONE'
(Other definitions for tone that I've seen before include "Quality or character of sound" , "Pitch of a voice" , "Theobald Wolf . . . ." , "accent" , "Sound - style" .)
