The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama told staff yesterday that its junior department will shut at the end of this term. Around 200 children attend every Saturday to study an instrument. Many have their fees paid by bursaries.

They will have nowhere else to go in the principality.

Staff have been told there will be a consultatation, but this is just about redundancy details. The decision has been taken.

Wales has failed its children.

UPDATE: The RWCMD’s star graduated is the actor Antony Hopkins, presently playing Handel on screen. Has anyone tried tapping him for help?
