“Huge thanks go to our judges – pictured right – who were Joanne Schofield from Jelli Records, Oliver Hulme from Farmfest and Sally Edwards from BOSfest.”

Co-organiser Rebecca Strickland added: “The audience really enjoyed it. There was a really great atmosphere throughout the night. And it all helped to raise money for Somewhere House Somerset.”

The charity, based in Burnham-On-Sea, helps people to access counselling. They also work with local schools to help people better understand issues around mental health and addiction.

“We also couldn’t have done the evening without the support of The Princess volunteers,” Lewis said.
