Duo rock school classroom in Canada

The White Stripes have performed another impromptu gig - this time in front of a classroom of just 20 people.

The duo, performed a free show in a mobile classroom at the Creekside Youth Centre in Burnaby, British Columbia last Sunday (June 24).

The gig was a warm-up before they played a sold-out concert at the nearby Deer Lake Park later that night, reports Pitchfork.

The set was part of a spate of low key shows including a performance at Tower Records In LA.

The band also recently played an intimate gig for a group of Chelsea pensioners in west London.
