DIGGLE Primary School pupils hit all the right notes when the Mayor of Oldham dropped in to watch their concert.

The youngsters were music to Councillor Ateeque Ur-Rehman’s ears at Uppermill Civic Hall.

When the Diggle primary’s school council met the Mayor recently, they told him all about their love of music — more than 50 of its pupils play brass instruments.

He told them he’d love to watch them perform — and true to his word he accepted their concert invitation.
