School of Rock 2012

Manchester is famous for Music! Oasis in concert

Many famous British bands have come from Manchester, including the Bee Gees, Take That, Oasis, New Order, The Smiths and many more. 

Many people call Manchester the centre of the UK's popular music scene! 

The best nightclub in the world is also officially in Manchester, Sankey's nightclub....

To celebrate this we are holding a School of Rock with a combination of English and Rock/Pop music  training.
