Was Spice Girl performing half-cut on noisy tube? (10)
I believe the answer is:
didgeridoo
'half-cut on noisy tube?' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'was spice girl performing' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'girl' could be 'geri' and 'geri' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for didgeridoo that I've seen before include "music-maker?" , "musical instrument" , "wind instrument" , "Primitive blower" , "Aboriginal instrument" .)
