Band from Skegness ultimately rubbish (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stripe

'band' is the definition.
(I know that band can be written as stripe)

'skegness ultimately rubbish' is the wordplay.
'ultimately' says to take the final letters.
'rubbish' becomes 'tripe' (both can mean nonsense).
The last letter of 'skegness' is 's'.
's'+'tripe'='STRIPE'

'from' is the link.

(Other definitions for stripe that I've seen before include "Broad band" , "Narrow band of colour" , "Priest (anag)" , "Long narrow mark found in tripes" , "Long band of a different colour" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
