Singers in nest, or bats? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tenors

'singers' is the definition.
(tenor is a singing voice)

'nest or bats?' is the wordplay.
'bats?' is an anagram indicator (slang for mad).
'nest'+'or'='nestor'
'nestor' is an anagram of 'TENORS'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tenors that I've seen before include "Opera singers" , "Male singers from Reston" , "Male singers with high register" , "Male singing voices" .)
