A charity gig organised by One sixth form in Ipswich has raised cash for Autism Anglia.
Students from the sixth form organised the event at the John Peel Centre in Stowmarket, where three of the sixth form’s bands – Subwoofer, Intervention and The Orangutans – performed to more than 120 music lovers.
The event raised nearly £300, with all proceeds going to Autism Anglia.
Jacob Ottaway, who helped co-ordinate the event with his classmates, said: “The songs ranged from Maroon Five to McFly via Little Mix and it was a great night. It all came together. We set out with the intention of putting on a successful gig that could raise money for charity and that’s exactly what happened.”
Music teacher, Gareth Evans, added: “The talent we have at One seems to get better every year and the charity concert was a great showcase for this. I’m incredibly proud of my students.”
