Donation is music to the ears of primary school's steel band

Talented young musicians from a primary school are set to get even more chances to practice and play with the installation of their own dedicated band room.

- 

West Rainton Primary School set up a steel band two years ago to give pupils the chance to learn a new musical instrument and enjoy making music together.

Its steel pans are currently stored in a side room off the school hall, meaning they have to be taken out and packed away at the start of every practice session, which shortens the amount of time available for the pupils to play.
