Heard notes from choir members (6)
I believe the answer is:
tenors
'choir members' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'heard notes' is the wordplay.
'heard' shows a homophone (sound like).
'notes' becomes 'tenners' (ten pound notes).
'tenners' sounds like 'TENORS'.
'from' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for tenors that I've seen before include "Male singing voices" , "Male singers from Reston" , "Opera singers" , "Male singers with high register" .)
