Singers let out short cries (10)
I believe the answer is:
choristers
'singers' is the definition.
(I know this)
'out short cries' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates anagramming the letters.
'short'+'cries'='shortcries'
'shortcries' with letters rearranged gives 'CHORISTERS'.
'let' is the link.
This may not be correct. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
