STUDENTS from a music department are organising an evening full of performances by talented locals.

Cowley sixth-form students from the school’s music performance department are set to showcase different genres and styles from students, with acts from bands, duets, and solo artists.

The event is aimed at bringing those with a passion for music together for the evening.

The night will allow students to showcase their abilities and offer their talents for the community to enjoy.

Students from the department have worked alongside the Tunza Centre on Boundary Road to organise the music event, which will be an outdoor festival theme.

Ian Smith, owner of Tunza centre, said: "It’s a great privilege to work with the staff and students at Cowley on their music event.

"Each year the students work hard to not only organise the event but to take part in it as well.

"There’s always a tremendous atmosphere and there are some very talented musicians on show.

"The Tunza Centre is a beacon for young people to thrive, express their creativity and perform, in many cases, to a packed audience for the first time. I’m sure this year’s 'Revolution' event will be a great success."

Danny Watkins, head of the musical performance arts department at Cowley Sixth Form College, added: "I am extremely proud of the music students devising this wonderful concept giving young music artists with the St Helens area a platform to showcase their skills.

"This really is a night not to miss out on."

The concert will take place on Friday, May 5, at the Tunza Centre.

Tickets are £7, with the price also including a ticket raffle strip, with a selection of prizes up for grabs, such as a signed Saints rugby ball.
