Inspirational Monday - An old swing for a brand new song!

This appears to be a new trend that we are very much in favour of, giving new songs some classical treatment.

We admit that we are largely classicists and it isn't until this song was given a swing By Scott Bradlee and Postmodern Jukebox featuring Kate Davis that it came to our attention at all.

And then we released how brilliant it is.

Perhaps it serves us right for being such muso snobs but we think the Double Bass solo really adds something!

We hope this video has given you a little inspiration on your Monday.

Customers In Action - Brighton College Swing Band, having a beautiful day!

OK, so we understand that even those with the most positive of outlooks would struggle to describe today as beautiful.

But, when you see young people having this much fun it almost doesn't matter how dreary the weather is, this warms the cockles.

Another reminder of why we love working in, and supporting, music education and music excellence.

And the music education professional in this video deserves special mention, he is clearly having a Beautiful Day!
