The Musicians' Union is concerned that there are now fewer opportunities for children to learn musical instruments at school and it says music education is deteriorating around the country.

The union is calling on the government to urgently review its offering of instrumental music tuition in schools, saying fewer youngsters are learning to play instruments - with cost being a major factor.

Gini Dellow, from Ancaster, who is writing a Masters on the subject and whose four children all learned to play an instrument, says there are lots of benefits to it:

James Quantrill locked himself in the bathroom after telling his partner: "We're going to die together".

A Spalding man has been jailed after attempting to torch his girlfriend's flat when she broke up with him.

28-year-old James Quantrill locked himself in the bathroom of the flat before starting a fire and telling his partner "we're going to die together tonight".
