The @MusicManProject have had their minibus vandalised. This is what they had to say about it:
"We have a message for the vandals. Nothing will stop MMP. They can vandalise a hundred minibuses. Music Man has overcome all manner of problems, pain and prejudice. We sing and play instruments but what we do most of all is inspire people. This just inspires us and all our supporters."
Do please send this incredible organisation, their students and volunteers some love today.
