Wishing all the best to our Y13 Music Performance students who have organised their own gig taking place at the Gerard Arms tonight! 🎸🥁🎹
The event is all part of their assessment, with music from student bands and vocalists from Cowley Sixth Form and other young musicians from the area.
If you don't have a ticket, we're afraid the event is SOLD OUT. Well done to the students for selling the full allocation of tickets in advance.
