A BURNHAM-on-Sea rock band has made it to the final stage of auditions for the Pilton Party music festival after impressing a panel of judges.

‘Some Villains’ performed songs from their upcoming EP, Outliers, at the Pilton Working Men’s Club on March 5 in front of a panel of judges including Glastonbury Festival founder, Michael Eavis.

The four-piece rock band finished in second place but judges invited the band to the contest final on Saturday, June 30.

Lead singer and guitarist Edward Graves said: “We’re absolutely delighted to have made the final.”
