Shaking a coin tin close to bus conductor (9)
I believe the answer is:
toscanini
'conductor' is the definition.
(Arturo Toscanini)
'shaking a coin tin close to bus' is the wordplay.
'shaking' indicates anagramming the letters.
'close to' says to take the final letters (the close of something is the end).
The final letter of 'bus' is 's'.
'a'+'coin'+'tin'+'s'='acointins'
'acointins' is an anagram of 'TOSCANINI'.
(Other definitions for toscanini that I've seen before include "Arturo --, Italian conductor" , "Bare rock formation" , "He conducted" , "Virtuoso conductor" , "Old conductor" .)
