1983: Musical Youth go back to school

They may have had a number one record in 10 countries, but with an average age of just 13, band Musical Youth had other priorities – school. During a report on music education in Birmingham, some of the group were filmed at their school, Duddeston Manor, and keyboard player Michael Grant was interviewed about his early start in music.
