Talented kids put on a show for Summer Sizzler

MORE than 220 gifted musicians, including children as young as seven years old, have been impressing local audiences with their talents.

This follows Rochdale Music Service's annual Summer Sizzler event held at Middleton Arena, where local schools and children who have been supported by the service, came together to perform in front of the Mayor of Rochdale and their friends and family.

With the sound of guitars, violins, flutes, trumpets and trombones playing in perfect harmony among many other instruments, participants played a variety of music, from traditional rock to classical ensembles, throughout the day during three separate concerts.

For some, this was their very first live musical performance as they played in small bands and a mass orchestra alongside pupils from different schools in the borough who they may otherwise have never met.
