From Bach to The Beatles, 12-year-old's music therapy for homeless dogs is a hit in the US

It is often said that music is the universal language of humanity. Now, a 12-year-old boy in Houston, in the US state of Texas, is putting that to the test for an unlikely audience: man's best friend. Advertisement Yuvi Agarwal started playing keyboard when he was four years old. Several years ago, he noticed his playing soothed his family's restless golden doodle, Bozo. He wondered if it could also help stressed homeless animals. With help from his parents, who both have backgrounds in marketing, he founded the non-profit organisation Wild Tunes in 2023 to recruit musicians to play in animal shelters. So far he has enlisted about 100 volunteer musicians and singers of all ages and abilities to perform at nine shelters in Houston, New Jersey and Denver, Colorado.

Oasis' first gig in 16 years sends fans supersonic: 'thank you for putting up with us'

British rock band Oasis reunited in Cardiff on Friday as the Gallagher brothers put more than 16 years of acrimony behind them to deliver a hit-packed set that took thousands of fans back to the optimism and swagger of the 1990s. The Manchester band defined the 'Britpop' revival of guitar music, before tensions between Noel Gallagher, the band's main songwriter, and his younger brother, lead singer Liam, led to its split. The group walked onto the stage in the 74,500-capacity Principality Stadium and launched into Hello, sounding as tight as at the height of their fame. Interaction with the audience was minimal during the two-hour performance. Interaction between the brothers was nonexistent until a very brief hug at the end.
