THE WHO frontman Roger Daltrey has shown his support for young people's music sessions.

He was in the Albion pub in Hastings at the weekend as the Sussex brewery run by his son Jamie, Lakedown Brewing Co, extended its partnership with the Hastings Fat Tuesday Music Festival.

The brewery, in Burwash, is sponsoring a year-long programme to support the Hastings Fat Tuesday Club.

The club provides free creative music sessions for 12 to 18-year-olds at the Contemporary Music School in St Leonards.

The sessions focus on making and playing new music, including song writing, performing and technical aspects.

Jamie Daltrey and his brother-in-law Des Murphy, who founded the brewery with him, joined Roger at the pub.

They unveiled a dedicated Lakedown Brewing Co stage which will play host to music events.

Roger said: “The Fat Tuesday Club is a remarkable organisation that is really making a difference in young people’s lives who are discovering their passion for music.

“Community has always been at the heart of what we do at Lakedown and as a local Sussex company, we are very proud to support it.”

Des Murphy said: “Music is in our DNA and so we’re excited for Lakedown Brewing Co to be sponsors of Fat Tuesday, the UK’s largest Mardi Gras celebrations.

"We are also immensely proud to offer our support to the Fat Tuesday Club that helps young people in Hastings with sessions to inspire creativity through music.”
