Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Derbyshire's prestigious event - Band of the Year - was held once again at the Winding Wheel in Chesterfield.

Two intense heats with a variety of music led up to a tough final full of diverse acts.

With Ichabod, the solo blues act that pulled in a major audience, kept everyone entertained with his boyish charms and his talented guitar-playing and lyrics.

Alfreton-based 'The Dooberies' turned the Wheel into a barn with their folk rock.

Complete with harmonicas, bongos and some funky tunes the band captured the audience and kept them interested.

Self-proclaimed crooked town punks 'Population Lost' added speed, ska and social issues to the heated final, cramming as many of their well-known tracks into the 20-minute set.

But with much lyrical banter in-between, Kworyl's musical poetry shined hard in tracks like Footprints and he helped convince the initially-sceptical crowd there was much to enjoy in the Hip Hop genre.

Fun-loving pop-punkers 'All At Stake' took over the stage for a whole different blast on the music.

With synths, catchy choruses and you-dance we-dance energy, they involved the crowd and left them singing along even when they'd finished.

Metal monsters My Demise created the best in pits with their extreme guitar bleeding and ear-piercing vocals. It was a set full of stamina, spit and enough sweat to drown the crowd.

After a hard decision, Kworyl took third place, Population Lost stood up second and All At Stake claimed the mass of goodies and title, Band of the Year 2007.
