Children have been asked to help record a protest song about threatened school closures in Moray.
Rock group Roads to Damascus have rewritten the words to the Pink Floyd classic Another Brick in the Wall so that they apply specifically to the region.
Now the band wants youngsters from schools across Moray to come forward to recreate the song’s chorus, which was also sung by children on the original.
After being recorded, the song will be mixed and mastered, before a copy is sent to Moray Council.
Last year the council hired independent consultancy firm Caledonian Economics to look at the future of all of the region’s eight secondaries and 45 primaries.
The review was launched after the local authority revealed it would need to spend £70 million on its existing school buildings to bring them up to an accepted standard.
Roads to Damascus comprise singer Steve Simms, a nurse at Dr Gray’s Hospital in Elgin, and multi-instrumentalist Calum Jamieson, a police officer.
Mr Jamieson said: “There will be lyric sheets provided and we want the children to come along to put across what their schools means to them.
“We also intend to have fun at the same time.
“A number of school kids across Moray have already agreed to come along for the recording.”
Mr Jamieson, whose youngest daughter Robyn, 7, goes to Crossroads primary, at Grange, near Keith, said: “It would be a tragedy for all concerned if Crossroads was to close.”
He added: “We decided to record the song in order to highlight the wider issue of all schools in Moray. Hopefully, it can become some sort of rallying call for the many other people who are also worried about what may happen.”
A petition is also set to be launched at Crossroads in conjunction with other small rural schools in Moray.
Signatures will be collected until the end of June.
Roads to Damascus have booked the village hall at Grange for tomorrow at 7pm to record the protest song.
