A Portsmouth Music Hub spokesman said: 'Fossils, skeletons, elliptical orbits, magnetism, seeds and teeth were just some of the subjects brought to life by the cast of young performers, and there was even a song about the journey of our food after we've eaten it which was a firm favourite with the audience and particularly the young cast!'

'The Mad Scientist's Songbook' - just one of a series of award-winning songbooks composed by Portsmouth Music Hub to support teaching in schools - was performed to a packed audience at the Guildhall in March.

Video of the performance has now been uploaded on the Portsmouth Music Hub’s YouTube account.
