This is what can happen when our music charity is supported by a true legend — the amazing Ian Gillan.
We’re incredibly grateful to Ian for giving our young people a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The experience was eye-opening, inspiring, and truly aspirational, and we can’t thank everyone involved enough for making it happen!
