Inspired
Mark was inspired to write the 16 minute piece by some visiting students from Starehe School in Nairobi who performed at a joint concert with the youth band last year.
Proceeds from the concert will be split between the Martyn Donaldson Music Trust and the Macclesfield Castle Rotary Club charities.
