Not too cool for school

British rockers the ARCTIC MONKEYS have returned to their musical roots by recruiting their former teacher to perform at a secret school gig. The I BET YOU LOOK GOOD ON THE DANCEFLOOR hitmakers wowed pupils at their old school Barnsley Sixth Form College in Yorkshire, England, with a show featuring music master RICHARD TOLSEN last night (23AUG06). The Sheffield band took to a makeshift stage in the sports hall, after first monopolising the school staff room to warm up and get changed. A source tells British newspaper the Daily Star, "Rich invited them back to play and they said 'yes' and asked him if he wanted to be on stage. "Rich is a great musician and plays in a band himself, so there was no problem there. He would either play a bit of guitar, or just shake a tambourine."
