There was some festive fun at Andover's theatre last night as local bands came together for a special Christmas acoustic night.

Artists from in and around Andover gathered at the Lights to perform for the crowds.

The acoustic nights have proved a big success since they were started 3 years ago and have been vital in showcasing the very best local talent.

Organiser Lacey Potter spoke to Shirley Swain and said it all went well: "It's been a brilliant night, the turnouts really good and everyone's been fantastic!

"We're getting a lot more different performers in now and it's becoming really popular, we're getting a regular audience in each time, so it's great.

"Great Walls are a big draw, Ricky's brilliant. He started off here with his old band and then when Great Walls formed, he started performing for us and Joe Osborne's been coming here for a good couple of years now."

You can hear more about the night on the Next Big Thing from 7pm on Sunday night and scroll down for pictures...
