Providing wine during the musical performance (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

giving

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'providing' is the definition.
(giving is a kind of providing)

'wine during the musical performance' is the wordplay.
'wine' becomes 'vin' (I have seen 'French wine ' mean 'vin' so perhaps 'wine' could also mean 'vin').
'during' is an insertion indicator.
'the musical performance' becomes 'gig' (I've seen this before. I am not sure about the 'musical' bit.**).
'vin' placed into 'gig' is 'GIVING'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for giving that I've seen before include "Granting" , "Yielding; presenting" , "Donating" , "Handing over" , "'Friday's child is loving and . . . . . .'" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
