A Manchester hospital psychiatrist who grew disillusioned with his job quit to pursue a childhood dream.
With Manchester's Royal Northern College of Music turning 50 this year, the M.E.N. spoke to one of its alumni whose own career path didn't always stick to the script. Aged 10-years old, Jeremy Sassoon was the music school's youngest student when it opened in June 1973; he even presented HRH the Duchess of Kent with a bouquet at its official opening.
In life's funny way of coming back on itself full-circle, Jeremy, 58, is now back at the RNCM teaching a masterclass on the pop music course. But his career took an unexpected turn at the age of 18 when, like a true musician, he "rebelled".
