French composer recalled job on island in Ireland (4,5)
I believe the answer is:
erik satie
'french composer' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'recalled job on island in ireland' is the wordplay.
'recalled' says the letters should be written in reverse (to recall can mean to bring something back).
'job' becomes 'task' (synonyms).
'on island in' becomes 'ire' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ireland' becomes 'ie' (two letter country code).
'task'+'ire'='taskire'
'taskire' written backwards gives 'eriksat'.
'eriksat'+'ie'='ERIK SATIE'
Can you help me to learn more?
