Southern tour for band (5)
I believe the answer is:
strip
'band' is the definition.
(both can mean a small piece of material)
'southern tour' is the wordplay.
'southern' becomes 's' (abbreviation).
'tour' becomes 'trip' (I've seen this in other clues).
's'+'trip'='STRIP'
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for strip that I've seen before include "Remove covering from" , "Denude; long narrow piece of fabric" , "sports outfit" , "Plunder" , "Thin piece" .)
