🎸 We got Shivers! So incredible to have the one and only @teddysphotos visit a @createmusicuk project at Fairlight Primary School in Brighton today!
🎤 Ed met some of the brilliant students learning everything from drums to ukuleles and then performed a short set for the pupils and their amazing teachers.
🎶 Create Music is part of Brighton Dome & Brighton Festival and provides inclusive music education and performance opportunities for children, young people and adults across Brighton & Hove and beyond. Encouraging a passion for music supports our vision for a future where lives are forever transformed by the power of music - no-one understands that better than Ed Sheeran!
💚 Before he left, Ed also donated a bunch of guitars to the school and the Create Music team, to help us encourage other young people on their musical journey.
✨️ Thank you Ed and team – you really made this day Perfect!
