Working in Perth, wanted to celebrate uninhibitedly (5,3,4,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paint the town red

'celebrate uninhibitedly' is the definition.

'working in perth wanted to' is the wordplay.
'working' indicates an anagram.
'in'+'perth'+'wanted'+'to'='inperthwantedto'
'inperthwantedto' anagrammed gives 'PAINT THE TOWN RED'.

(Other definitions for paint the town red that I've seen before include "get rid of the blues?" , "Go on a pub crawl" , "Celebrate" , "enjoy celebration" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
