BID manager Vicky Rogers said: "We have some extraordinary talent within our local schools and contacted the music department at Earls to see if they would be interested in taking part in a town centre event.

"Music teacher Esther Hyde was excited by the concept and agreed that it was a fantastic opportunity to showcase some of our local talent.

"We canvassed the other local schools and soon had five schools eager to take part.
