Hollie Sherred, Enable Ability’s partnerships and events officer, said: ‘Not really knowing what to expect from Ready to Rock School, I was completely blown away with the talent the group had to offer.’
Throughout the performance, tutors and students of the school performed songs from Green Day, Kings of Leon, Blur, Royal Blood and Foo Fighters.
