Blair plays the blues in Steel City |

| All
smiles - but the prime minister remained tight-lipped when asked
about Iraq |

Prime
Minister Tony Blair got a case of the blues when he made his first
visit to Sheffield since being elected to office in 1997.

Mr Blair
was at Firth Park Community College along with Home Secretary and
Sheffield Brightside MP David Blunkett.
He
made a speech to college pupils, but was not so forthcoming when
questioned by reporters about a possible campaign to oust Saddam
Hussein from Iraq.
The
prime minister soon forgot the pressures of the job however, when
along with Mr Blunkett he took part in an impromptu jamming session!
Mr
Blair played lead guitar, while his home secretary kept a steady
beat on the drums as both men joined in a 12-bar blues piece with
school band The Jabberwocker.
Take
a look at our picture gallery, which captures
the flavour of the occasion.
