Jonas Brothers Surprise Students In England

The Jonas Brothers stunned pupils at a U.K. school on Wednesday when they turned up unannounced for an impromptu performance.

The sibling trio visited Ryton Comprehensive School in Gateshead, England as part of the British government’s Tune In – Year of Music campaign, which aims to inspire young musicians.

The brothers performed an acoustic set of their biggest hits, before answering questions from the star struck crowd. And the band was delighted to be able to share their wisdom with their young fans.

Kevin Jonas says, “We hope to inspire kids to pick up an instrument if they have never done so before or to practice more if they already know how to play.”

Brother Joe Jonas adds, “We’re just here pretty much to tell the kids how important it is to live out your dream and if your dream is music then we have some advice to give them.”
