For the second year running pupils from Malmesbury schools brightened up a soggy opening night of the WOMAD music festival.
Despite grey clouds and drizzle the performing students, beside world music stars Pee Wee Ellis, Justin Adams and Mim Suleiman, created a warm and lively atmosphere.
African drumming, brass and break dancing were all on show as the pupils’ hard work over the past six weeks paid off.
Malmesbury Secondary School music teacher Bill Badley was delighted his students had opened the 28th WOMAD in style.
He said: “It was absolutely magnificent, it really did exceed all expectations.
“It came together on the night, the music that they played lends itself to collaboration.
“The students were very focussed and really locked into it tonight.”
