Ford joins forces with rock legends

Some of the biggest names in music are coming together with an orchestra that uses instruments made from car parts to raise money for charity.

The Ford Focus orchestra has joined with Mike Rutherford from Genesis and Kenney Jones of The Who to record a new song.

Called 'Six O'Clock', the song aims to raise money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.

The orchestra, which is made up from members of the National Symphony Orchestra and musicians from The Academy of Contemporary Music, has already performed at the Royal Albert Hall.

Starting in London on 17 April, the tour will then head around the UK.

The inspiration for the tour was sparked when television viewers thought the car parts instruments were not real.

At the end of the tour, the instruments will be auctioned off to raise more money for the Teenage Cancer Trust.
