A COLLEGE student has helped to inspire youngsters to take up music by taking part in an end of term guitar assembly.

Kieran Hogan-Verdon who attends Kelsey Park Sports College in Manor Way, Beckenham, entertained the young pupils at Hawes Down Junior School, The Mead, West Wickham on July 20.

The 16-year-old performed a number of pieces including Hotel California by the Eagles and Lela by Derek and the Dominos.

He was joined by the headteacher Matt De Frietas, his own guitar teacher, Steve Dowdell and friend Michael Millani.

Mr De Freitas said: “Kieran and Michael are a real inspiration to our pupils and are great role models.”

Kieran is planning to continue his studies at the Brighton Institute of Modern Music to study for A levels in Music and Music Business Administration.
