Unhurried pace of a northern comedy writer? (7)
I believe the answer is:
andante
'unhurried pace' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a northern comedy writer?' is the wordplay.
'a' becomes 'an'.
'northern comedy writer?' becomes 'dante' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'an'+'dante'='ANDANTE'
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for andante that I've seen before include "Slow, even time (mus.)" , "Fairly slow (mus.)" , "moving steadily" , "Musically, in moderately slow time" , "Unhurried pace" .)
