A lad mixed up with rebels who sing old songs? (10)

I believe the answer is:

balladeers

'who sing old songs?' is the definition.

'a lad mixed up with rebels' is the wordplay.
'mixed up with' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'lad'='alad'
'alad' with its letters mixed up with 'rebels' can make 'BALLADEERS'.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
