Refuse entry to performer on vacation (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
turn away
'refuse entry' is the definition.
'turn away' can be an answer for 'refuse' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'entry' bit.
'performer on vacation' is the wordplay.
'performer' becomes 'turn' ('turn' can mean a performer as well as their act).
'on vacation' becomes 'away' (I've seen this before).
'turn'+'away'='TURN AWAY'
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for turn away that I've seen before include "decline" , "Refuse entrance to" , "Deflect" .)
