Promoter playing spoons with head of recording (7)
I believe the answer is:
sponsor
'promoter' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'playing spoons with head of recording' is the wordplay.
'playing' indicates an anagram.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'head of' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'recording' is 'r'.
'spoons' anagrammed gives 'sponso'.
'sponso'+'r'='SPONSOR'
(Other definitions for sponsor that I've seen before include "Promoter; funder" , "Patron; promote" , "Supporter or champion" , "A godfather or patron" , "surety" .)
