How do you form a band when you don’t have the money for instruments? Four friends dream of becoming buskers. The spoilt and privileged Kylie and her friends laugh at their efforts to raise the funds for their band. The neighbourhood kids help them to start a car wash but Kylie plots to have it closed by the council. They begin to collect second hand goods and plan to sell it to Mr De Souza, the junk yard owner. Mr De Souza has a secret musical history and helps the kids realise that they can make music in many different ways. They create marvellous percussion instruments from recycled materials and together with the neighbourhood kids stage a fantastic concert in Mr De Souza’s yard. The band is selected to play at a national recycling expo!
