Havant school saves 90s pop stars' big night!

A Havant school stepped in at the last minute to save a live music showcase headlined by 90s chart favourite and Yell! frontman Daniel James, after the event’s staging company unexpectedly pulled out.
St Thomas More’s Catholic School answered the call by lending its stage, allowing the showcase, hosted by W*A*R*D, to go ahead as planned at The Obelisk in Woolston. The last-minute rescue came just weeks after W*A*R*D had performed at the school, with the headteacher Jeff Sendall quick to offer a helping hand when they heard the show was in trouble.
The night went ahead in style, with Daniel James and W*A*R*D teaming up to treat fans to the exclusive first performance of their brand-new single, Hands Up, alongside a hit-filled set.
Highlights of the evening also included local Rufus Stone legend Malc Eyers performing his charity single, The Big Difference, while compère Jack o’ Clubs kept the audience entertained throughout the night with his trademark humour.
But one of the biggest talking points of the evening came from Hampshire rock band Industry Plant. Their acoustic version of Kids in America brought the house down, adding even more fuel to the growing belief that they’re one of the UK’s hottest up-and-coming bands.
W*A*R*D, a Fareham native whose latest single I Feel That Way Too is currently just outside the UK Top 40, thanked St Thomas’ School for stepping in at the eleventh hour, proving that sometimes the biggest heroes are found closest to home.
