'Junk' music teens drum at proms

The teenagers usually perform at concerts and carnivals

Three teenagers from Pembrokeshire who make music from dustbins, pots and pans are playing at the Royal Albert Hall.

The trio called Homemade have been invited to perform at the prestigious Music for Youth Schools Prom in London.

The music they perform is known as "junk" and unlike most of the 2,500 youngsters taking part they will not be using any traditional instruments.

James Iles, 17, and Ashley Williams and Carl Rees, both 15, attend Sir Thomas Picton School in Haverfordwest.

They are taking a coachload of supporters to London for Tuesday's performance, including family and school friends.

'Mundane'

They first performed together at the Pembrokeshire Music Festival for what was meant to a one-off, but have since gone on to win several accolades for their unusual sound.

Carl said: "We're all passionate about drumming and wanted to take our skills to a new level by doing something a bit different and fun.

"Using everyday mundane household items as musical instruments is an odd idea but it seems to work.

"Audiences love the energy and excitement the music creates and it's a great buzz to see people tapping their hands and feet in time with us.

"To have the chance to play at the Royal Albert Hall in London is an amazing opportunity - we just can't wait to get on stage."
