The winners of Colchester's fifth Battle of the Bands were cheered to the rafters, and beyond.
On The Roof took the honours at the event, held at the Arts Centre on Saturday, in what was their first gig.
The band's Xavier Winton said they were "really happy" and hoped to have taken their "first step to the big time".
"We've only been together for six months, and to win at our first gig was totally unexpected - hopefully it's a good omen for the future!" he said.
