You and me at the centre, with folk-band, by the sound of it, being interviewed for research. (5,5)
I believe the answer is:
focus group
'folk-band by the sound of it being interviewed for research' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.
'you and me at the centre' is the wordplay.
'you and me' becomes 'group' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (I've seen this in other clues).
'the centre' becomes 'focus' (I've seen this before).
'group' after 'focus' is 'FOCUS GROUP'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for focus group that I've seen before include "set for discussion" , "Four cups go (anag)" .)
