Cheers guys - still getting to grips with Clojure, but
getting there.

Didn't try, but shoudn't (def alist `(1 ~(fn [x y] (+
x y)))) be better? Then you don't need the eval :)

alist is missing parens around the fn, so it's
really a list of 4 elements like so:
(1, fn, [x y], (+ x y))
So (second alist) returns just the symbol 'fn.
And when you apply a Symbol to a list, the result
is the last item in the list (not sure why).
To do what you want, alist should be defined like
this:
(def alist '(1 (fn [x y] (+ x y))))
Also, it seems that the definition of the function
needs to be eval'ed first to become an apply-able
function. The following returns 4 in my REPL:
(apply (eval (second alist)) '(1 3))
