Andover College students ‘Jingle Bell Rock’ for Young Sounds UK

---

Students at Andover College put on a Christmas event ‘Jingle Bell Rock’ at The Lights (a local theatre) to raise funds for ZUK and Young Sounds UK, both charities close to the hearts of the Music students.

Bands from both year groups at the college played covers and original material spanning from acoustic and pop, to punk and funk. The students also held a raffle, and an audience singalong of Fairytale of New York closed out the festivities. Overall, they raised £315!

Performance and Production lecturer for Andover Campus Music, Ashley Wassell said:

“This event was curated entirely by the students, choosing charities that had personal significance to themselves. They did an incredible job of bringing everything together, booking external acts and creating such a buzz. A massive thank you must go to The Lights, who not only gave us their venue for this event but also gave the benefit of their experience in promotion and sales to our students.”

We’d like to say a huge thank you to all of the students at Andover College for fundraising for us!

The work that we do wouldn’t be possible without the help of our generous supporters and donors. Find out more about how you can make a difference in young musicians’ lives by fundraising for us below.
