Legendary pop star Chesney Hawkes inspired potential pop stars of the future as he played music on a grand piano at a Surbiton school.
The One and Only singer played at Shrewsbury House School last Thursday on the recommendation of his manager, whose son attends the school.
The 41-year-old was shooting the video for his new single Caught up in Circles.
He said: "The school is brimming with young musical talent and I couldn't have wished for a better environment".
Headmaster Kevin Doble said: "It was quite a remarkable day.
"It was hugely exciting to have a man who has had a worldwide hit at the school, not to mention inspiring for the pupils to meet a man who has made a career out of music."
Around shooting the video, Hawkes found time to talk to the pupils including pop stars in the making Jonathan Cassens, a talented young pianist, and Luca Wade.
The ever-green singer wrote himself into pop history more than two decades ago in 1991 with The One and Only, and has recently been filming a piece for Friday’s Children In Need.
