Woodmen at play (7)
I believe the answer is:
oboists
'woodmen' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oboists that I've seen before include "Musicians" , "Woodwind players" , "10 across group" .)
