Start song outside (4-3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

open-air

'outside' is the definition.
('open-air' can be similar in meaning to 'outside')

'start song' is the wordplay.
'start' becomes 'open' (opening is a kind of starting).
'song' becomes 'air' (I've seen this before).
'open'+'air'='OPEN-AIR'

(Other definitions for open-air that I've seen before include "Exposed to the elements" , "Outdoor" , "outside" , "Taking place outdoors" , "Alfresco" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and The Times.
