"Danny O&amp;#039;Donoghue has said that he believes The Voice UK inspired children to become musicians. The Script singer explained that it was important to have a member of a band as a coach on the BBC One show in order to promote that genre of music.  &amp;quot;After The Voice, kids were coming up to me and saying, &amp;#039;I learned to play guitar like you did on the U2 tune&amp;#039; or &amp;#039;I learned piano like you played on that song&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; he told the Daily Star.  &amp;quot;No-one was saying, &amp;#039;I learned how to slag off my mates at school&amp;#039;, which a lot of other shows promote. &amp;quot;It would have been a crime not to have someone from a band up there, not just for us to get more recognition, but for bands in general. &amp;quot;Bands aren&amp;#039;t getting played on radio the way they used to, especially \u00ADguitar-playing bands.&amp;quot; The second series of The Voice UK, which will have fewer live shows and more blind auditions and battle rounds, started filming at Manchester&amp;#039;s MediaCityUK earlier this month.
