Where to find novel rock? (8)
I believe the answer is:
brighton
'where to find novel rock?' is the definition.
The answer is a location as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'where to' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'to' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
(Other definitions for brighton that I've seen before include "Graham Greene wrote ` `........ Rock' '" , "South coast city combined with Hove" , "... hard cylindrical sweet from the seaside" , "South-coast resort" , "resort town" .)
