Children from Leeds real life 'School of Rock' recreate classic Christmas song There’s No One Quite Like Grandma

The musical youngsters from LS18 Rocks - based in Horsforth - are hoping to storm to the top of the charts with their song Virtual Hugs (There’s No One Quite Like Grandma) which uses the spirit of the memorable 1980’s St Winifred’s Choir classic to promise their grandparents a dose of Yuletide joy.

The music school was launched in Leeds in 2017 when professional musician Jonnie Khan decided his music students needed an output for their learning.

From hiring a room in a scout hut on a Saturday morning and starting with just one band, LS18 Rocks now boasts eight bands rehearsing – and performing - every weekend.

In January 2019 the project moved into its own studio based in the heart of the Leeds suburb Horsforth – which has a LS18 postcode and gives them their name.

The song has been written, recorded, performed and played entirely by children.
