DISABLED youngsters enjoyed a visit by expert percussionists as part of a national tour.
The Rhythm Attack Percussion Quartet called at Durham Trinity School's Flambard premises, at Aykley Heads, yesterday, during the first of three Live Music Now tours involving special schools from Newcastle to Lincoln.
The idea of the late Yehudi Menuhin, Live Music Now supports young professional performers while providing access to live performance for those who would not otherwise have it.
During its week-long tour, Rhythm Attack will visit two schools each day, working with youngsters from two to 19 with physical, emotional, behavioural and learning difficulties.
At Trinity School, they performed a concert for about 100 pupils, including some from the school's primary site.
Sarah Derbyshire, executive director of Live Music Now, said: "Live Music Now is delighted to be working with npower on this major project.
"The dynamism and variety of larger ensembles' performances is an added excitement for the children.
"This is the first time that Live Music Now has run a project stretching from Newcastle down to Lincoln - a vast area to cover."
