Hi- you can just put the clue once in the main question box and use a short snappy title such as Times Crytic

Does the clue start with the ... ellipsis as I can't see where the EZZO bit comes from

No ellipsis in the printed clue.

Thanks. I can't think of anything else but can't see all the wordplay for intermezzo yet. Does anyone know if there are other crossing letters that fit with intermezzo?

Two other sites suggest intermezzo also so it's probably right

Does the 3rd definition fulfil the clue?

Intermezzo
ˌɪntəˈmɛtsəʊ/Submit
noun
1. a short connecting instrumental movement in an opera or other musical work.
2. a short piece for a solo instrument.
3. a light dramatic, musical, or other performance inserted between the acts of a play.

Hi Fionska- the definition of Intermezzo 9or intermezzi) are fine but it's just the wordplay that isn't clear to us- we can see IN TERM (not during holdays) but not the rest

It's the whole of the 'School Holidays' part I'm not getting - 'In term...' then what

Could the parse be "inter" (short for interval) and "mezzo" for half or mid?

sorry . . . forgot to include "half term" is a school holiday.

That makes the references to School Holidays (or not in...) superfluous.

Don't think there's wordplay for the 'ezzo' part of the answer - just a not-very-good clue. Unfamiliar setter today - new?
