Also receiving rock ‘n’ roll diplomas from Macca were Bee Gee Robin Gibb, former Robbie Williams songwriting partner Guy Chambers and veteran actor Alec McCowen.
“Around 30 successful show business people have shared their lives and skills with students this year from Dawn French to Richard Wilson,” says LIPA principle Mark Featherstone-Witty.
