Hundreds of student musicians in Oxfordshire played everything from rock to classical at a garden party organised by Oxfordshire County Council music service.

The party, at Bayards Hill School, in Barton, Oxford, had to move indoors due to bad weather, but the event was still hailed a success.

Four hundred musicians, aged between seven and 18, were watched by an audience of 500, including Sir Hugo Brunner, the Lord Lieutenant of Oxfordshire.

Liz Stockcorr , the acting head of Oxfordshire county music service, said: "It was absolutely brilliant. There was a real buzz and a great atmosphere."
