'bandmate' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'ringo hears ogre playing' is the wordplay.
'playing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ringo'+'hears'+'ogre'='ringohearsogre'
'ringohearsogre' is an anagram of 'GEORGE HARRISON'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
