ABC3 today premieres the second season of Heart & Soul, a 13 part observational series that follows all-girl band Sweethearts from Matthew Flinders Girls Secondary College, Geelong.

Playing a fusion of styles based around classic soul, they are reportedly the only school-based band in the world that plays exclusively in a professional setting.

Heart & Soul was also nominated for a 2015 International Kid’s Emmy.

The Sweethearts are a soul band of 30 Australian schoolgirls on the brink of their biggest dream: their first tour of the U.S.A. They are crushed when their musical director and mentor falls seriously ill. A new director reinstates the tour, which exacerbates a division between the younger and older members. The more the band tries to unite, the more it disintegrates. It takes Memphis and the power of soul music itself to finally bond them together. When their gig at the world’s largest festival teeters on disaster, they transform it into a triumph. They prove to themselves they are great musicians, and fulfil the last dream of their mentor.

Weekdays at 9:30am, from August 25 on ABC3.
