A Swindon band brought Beatles music back to life at a prestigious awards ceremony.

Otoko, made up of four Swindon College students, was chosen to play at the Wiltshire Learning and Skills Council's Learning Champions event, which took place at the De Vere Hotel, in West Swindon, on Friday.

The band members bass player Dan Pratt, lead guitarist David Pasby, vocalist and rhythm guitarist Tom Towers and drummer James Maynard are all studying for a national diploma in music.

Otoko, the Japanese word for gentleman, was formed last year and beat competition from groups across the country to play at the ceremony.

In addition to playing their own songs, the band revived old classics, including the Beatles' hit A Hard Day's Night.
