Mr Knight said UWE students studying professions such as teaching, engineering and occupational therapy were sent out to the township in South Africa annually to "spend a few weeks making valuable contributions to the educational life of schools in the township".Then every two years a choir, made up of children from two partnership schools, are brought over to Bristol to spend three weeks performing and sharing their talent and culture.

"They've been busking, they've put on concerts," he said.Mr Knight explained the tour aimed to raise money for the two schools involved."They are over here sharing their extraordinary talents and culture but also earning money to develop their educational opportunities back home," he said.

He said this year, one school planned to use the money to develop solar energy and the other hoped to buy IT equipment."Every penny that is made goes directly back to their schools," he said.

"A little bit of your money goes a really long way in South Africa," he added.

Mr Knight said "right at the heart of the project" was a "desire to bring people who live a long way apart, and lead very different lives, together".The takeover slot gives up-and-coming unsigned bands and artists an opportunity to play on stage in the lead up to the festival.

Mr Margaillan said: "You can never guarantee what type of opportunities or where these things will take you but one thing's for sure, we are going to grab it by the scruff of the neck and we're going to make the most of it."Mr Margaillan currently juggles music with work, but he said his dream was to be able to pursue music full-time.

He said: "Musicians and aspiring musicians would love to call it their full-time job and I know many many people in our local scene share the same desire and dream."As long as we keep our heads down, keep working hard and putting on great shows then these types of opportunities are going to come our way eventually."
