This week, Emma visits the students at Harris Academy Greenwich who are recipients of funding from the charity Restore The Music. Adopting a slightly different formula to usual, this very special episode highlights the role and importance of music at a grass roots level and how the phenomenal work of Restore The Music has offered a lifeline to these youngsters. The students were warm, engaging, honest and vulnerable with their stories and are a credit to their staff and school. They also treated Emma and now, you, to some musical performances. You're in for a treat....

Huge thanks to:
Polly Moore at Restore the Music

Jake, Simon, Bailey, Albert, Sam, Bisola, Jesi, Nicholle, David, Olivia, Eredia
