Head teacher Jenny Hartley said: "Yesterday's visit to Wheatcroft by Snake Davis was a great success and thoroughly enjoyed by every pupil and member of staff.

"[The assemblies] took pupils on a musical journey around the world demonstrating musical instruments from the didgeridoo to an Indian flute.

"He also played his saxophones and performed one of his famous solos to Take That's Million Love Songs."

Snake then gave musical workshops to different groups on pupils throughout the day and joined in with the school's orchestra after school.

On Twitter Snake said: "Really brilliant day with students of Wheatcroft Primary Scarborough. Wonderful school where music is very highly valued really well taught."
