Beverley Knight in virtual concert with former students of Wolverhampton school
Soul star Beverley Knight will lead a virtual concert featuring talented alumni of a Wolverhampton school to spread cheer among the school’s students and staff.
The virtual lockdown concert will see the world-famous Wolverhampton singer and former pupils-turned-West End stars Harveen Mann, Tom Xander and Simbi Akande.
The concert will then be put together as a video and shared with current students and staff.
A number of more recent Highfields leavers who are hoping to pursue careers in the arts will also be performing - including Jessica Burgess, Jacob Kholi, Jess Olford and Jordannne Farley-Moss.
Ms Bishop, Highfields’ head of extra curricular performance, said: “I have been hoping to organise an alumni concert for a while, and wondered if in these strange times our talented former students might perform a song for Highfields students with a message of hope and love.
“We have so many talented former students, including the fabulous Beverley Knight, and I am over the moon that so many of them have agreed to perform for this virtual lockdown concert.
“We will put the concert together as a video to share with the students who are really missing contact and craving connection.”
