Players that might be on hand at cheap wedding? (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
brass band
'on hand at cheap wedding?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'players' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'players' could be 'band' (group playing music) and 'band' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'brass' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'that might be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brass band that I've seen before include "Group of wind instruments" , "cheap alternative to gold ring" , "Group of musicians, maybe military" , "on hand at cheap wedding?" , "Ensemble often associated with factories or towns" .)
