Modern rock band Last One Home, based in Wellington, won the Bridgwater Battle of the Bands competition held at the town arts centre.

Competing against talented bands from across the South-West, Last One Home played a spirited set of largely original music to an enthusiastic and lively audience. The prize is to play on the same bill as a well-known band on a national tour sometime next year.

Bass player and former Court Fields School student Harry Lowndes said: “The atmosphere in the hall and the energy from the crowd perfectly matched our dynamic rock songs. Throughout this year bookings for the band have steadily increased and we have been playing to increasingly larger crowds”.
