HE'S a lad that makes the strings sing - Charlie Salleh has become one of the youngest people in the UK to pass the London College of Music RGT ukulele exam.
Charlie, 7, scored a remarkable 96.5 marks out of a possible 100.
Barnsley music teacher Liam Linley describes him as a 'natural' and added: "He always comes to his lessons with sore fingers from practising, he's an inspiration to us all."
Charlie, who lives in Dearne Road, Brampton, got the ukulele bug when he was just five years old.
