Conservatives and Gary Barlow launch School Stars

Innovative new plans to launch a national school music competition were announced today by David Cameron and Take That star, Gary Barlow in Nantwich. The new competition will encourage musical achievement among young people and is designed to provide those who participate with a unique, fun and exciting experience. This competition will use the inspirational power of music to reach as many pupils as possible with a format which will unearth talent, ability and excellence around the country.

The initiative is backed by Gary Barlow, one of the most successful British songwriters of all time as well as by commercial radio stations and major players in the music industry.
