Band heard in a Cheshire town (5)
I believe the answer is:
crewe
'a cheshire town' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'band heard' is the wordplay.
'band' becomes 'crew' (I've seen this before).
'heard' becomes 'e' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'crew'+'e'='CREWE'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for crewe that I've seen before include "Cheshire town long associated with railways" , "Ace wanderer lax (anag)" , "railway junction" , "Famous railway town" , "Cheshire town of railway fame" .)
