                English Teacher's guitarist Lewis Whiting has been speaking about the support that helped the group breakthrough β and the struggle other acts face to secure vital funding.
            
        
    
    
            The #Brits win for Ezra Collective & nomination for English Teacher celebrate their originality, great music and the importance of grassroots youth music projects. But it's a sector in crisis needing urgent backing. Thanks for covering Channel 4 News

            Unbelievable but not surprising.
