Last Friday, music legend-turned Broadway composer Sting joined 700 primary students from Newcastle ahead of his weekend benefit concerts, where he 'brought the Ship home' at the Sage Gateshead. The students, aged 7 - 12, learned a few of the songs from The Last Ship and performed them as a sing-along with Sting and his band.

Check out a brief look at the event below!

THE LAST SHIP - which marked Sting's debut as a Broadway composer - is set in the English seaside town of Wallsend, a close-knit community where life has always revolved around the local shipyard and the hardworking men construct magnificent vessels with tremendous pride. But Gideon Fletcherdreams of a different future. He sets out to travel the world, leaving his life and his love behind. When Gideon returns home many years later, he finds the shipyard's future in grave danger and his childhood sweetheart engaged to someone else. This love triangle ignites just as the men and women of Wallsend take their future into their own hands and build a towering representation of the shared dream that defines their existence. And in the end Gideon comes to understand that he had indeed left behind more than he could have ever imagined.
