A YOUNG Huddersfield musician has become the first person to claim a new guitar trophy at the Mrs Sunderland Music Festival.

Andrew Uttley, of Birkby, won the Peter Cain Guitar Trophy for the classical guitar open class on Wednesday.

The trophy was donated this year by Halifax guitar teacher Peter Cain.

It is given to performers who win first place in the class, providing they gain a grade B or above from the adjudicator.

Andrew impressed adjudicator Graham Wade with his performance of Capricho Arabe by Tarrega.

In the classical guitar 16 years and under class, Dalton girl Alice Bamford claimed victory after impressing the judge with her rendition of Whirligig by Steve Waters.

Nicholas Razzell, from Halifax, came second in the class, while Katie Smith from Brighouse and Daniel Laycock from Halifax took joint third.
