The School and the Harrow Association welcomed back over 100 Old Harrovians and their guests to the Hill for Songs in Speech Room, one of the great events in the Harrow calendar.

Song-writing legend and lead vocalist of Manfred Mann Mike D'Abo (Bradbys 1957³) performed his new composition, 'Beyond the Hill' and was supported by a band of Harrovians, and the whole School sang.

Songs have been a unifying force in Harrow life since John Farmer wrote the first one as Head of Music in 1864. They are sung in Houses every term and regularly as a whole School.
