TOTS at a Darlington nursery dressed as rock'n'roll stars yesterday for a day of musical fun.

The children, aged two to four, from St Mark's Pre-School Playgroup, in North Road, will be wearing their costumes all week as part of a study project on music. Instruments for the youngsters to play were donated by the Early Learning Centre and Williams The Music Shop. Playgroup leader Shirley Irvin said: "The children have loved it but it's all week so I think they'll be tired by the end. It's been very energetic."
