Wirral students rock!

Students from two Wirral schools recently took to the stage at live music venue, Future Yard in Birkenhead, for Tuesday Night Live.

As part of the event, performers from St John Plessington Catholic College and St Mary's Catholic College, both part of Holy Family Catholic Multi Academy Trust, took to the stage to perform a range of songs for a packed room.

In the past, the Trust has hosted Friday Night Live, a termly event that provides students with the opportunity to showcase their musical talents in front of a large audience. This is the first time the event has taken place on a Tuesday and the first time it has been hosted at Future Yard.

Throughout the night, young people from within the Trust came together to perform solo or as part of a group, playing guitar, drums, and other instruments, covering a range of genres such as folk, rock and pop.

In total, over 50 young people got involved and performances included The Reapeatles, who sang 'Because' by The Beatles, in four-part harmony.

Fuzion, a Year 10 band from St Mary's, made their fifth appearance at the event. The band delivered an epic end to the show with a cover of The Bridge, by Red Hot Chilli Peppers.

Also making their return to the event was St John Plessington student, Zac, who sang 'Born to Run' by Bruce Springsteen.

Laurie Smith, director of music at Holy Family Catholic Multi Academy Trust, said: "Tuesday Night Live was a great opportunity for our Trust to showcase the amazing talent within its secondary schools. The atmosphere at these events is always electric, with students showcasing their incredible talents and supporting each other; it's wonderful to see.

"Music is such an important aspect of school life for both St John Plessington and St Mary's, and giving students the platform to sing and play instruments on a large scale was a great experience for them."

Laurie added: "It was fantastic to welcome the local community on the night and see them supporting up-and-coming local musicians. A massive thank you Future Yard for hosting our event."

CEO of Holy Family Catholic Multi Academy Trust, Andy Moor, commented: "A huge well done to all our students who performed at Tuesday Night Live, you were absolutely phenomenal. It's always a pleasure to see students from across our family of schools come together and see them perform on stage with confidence and flair. We are so proud of each and every one of them."
