Wrong Direction released their second musical hit for Comic Relief last Friday.

The video has already reached nearly 5,000 views on YouTube and has raised over £1,000 for the charity.

Members of staff from St Cyres School in Penarth created a music video inspired by East 17’s number one single, Stay Another Day.

The brand new £48.5 million school is equipped with state of the art technology, including a new drama studio and Apple editing software.

Richard Hopkin, music teacher and band member explains that it was amazing to utilise these resources for a good cause.

In light of the band’s success, Hopkin jokes: “I’m the Gareth Malone of Penarth.”

Despite plans to only release one video, Wrong Direction is already preparing next year’s hit.
