A FIVE-YEAR-OLD from Somerset scooped a top prize and a celebrity endorsement after his first performance at the legendary Glastonbury Festival.

Wolfgang Jones, from Langport, wowed the crowd – and judges including Arlo Parks drummer and musical director, James Fernandez, during a drumming contest in the Kidzfield on the Saturday of the event.

The youngster, known as Wolfie, was among dozens of participants in a drum-off, which saw each given 30 seconds to showcase their drumming prowess in a bid to impress James and the other judges in a bid to win a Roland drum kit.

And after a tense judging period, Wolfie was named as the winner, with James praising his natural rhythm and timing, as well as his obvious enjoyment of giving the kit a good bashing – and his “really cool” sunglasses.

Asked about his win by the star, Wolfie said: “Everyone has been so kind, it’s good that everyone gets to have a go.”

James told the young people who took part they could all be proud of their performances.

“You can now all say you have played Glastonbury,” he said. “And you were all brilliant.”
