Stop blokes getting Brahms and Liszt? (6)
I believe the answer is:
barmen
'brahms and liszt?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'stop blokes getting' is the wordplay.
'stop' becomes 'bar' (bar can mean to stop or prevent).
'blokes' becomes 'men' (bloke can informally mean a man).
'getting' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'bar'+'men'='BARMEN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for barmen that I've seen is " local servers".)
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
