A KEIGHLEY school's samba band will be performing as part of the third annual BBC Music Day.

The outfit from Beckfoot Oakbank is taking part in a packed programme of activities at City Park, Bradford, on June 15.

It will join hundreds of pupils from across the district at the event.

Primary-age children will participate in workshops and there will be an attempt to set a new world record for the number of people taking part in Bamboo Tamboo – a form of music from the Caribbean islands of Trinidad and Tobago. The current record is 661.

There will also be entertainment from Bradford's Bradley Johnson, who was a contestant in the BBC Let It Shine programme.

Tony Johnson, Bradford Council's head of music and arts, said: "This is a great event for the city and the district.

"We are delighted that the third BBC Music Day will be held in our wonderful City Park.

"This is a great opportunity for hundreds of young people to be involved and the entertainment and performances continue up until 8pm.

"It will also be a real boost for the pupils and the district if we can set a new Guinness world record."

Michael Jameson, the council's strategic director for children's services, said Bradford had also been part of the inaugural BBC Music Day in 2015, which had been a great success.

"This is an excellent event and we are thrilled Bradford is taking part again," he added.

"We have already had the #LoveBradford Guinness World Record success in City Park so for so many children to be involved in a further attempt is very exciting.

"We've a lot of talented pupils."
