This week, we'd like to draw your attention to Pegasus Bridge and their track, Yoko

They're four chirpy gents from Macclesfield who formed as school friends back in 2003, practising in the caretaker's hut because they were reportedly banned from the music room.

Alex, Ed, Cal and Tom quickly gained support from BBC Manchester and BBC Stoke after uploading tracks to us via the uploader. The latter put them forward for our Maida Vale Weekender back in February, where they recorded three brilliantly infectious slices of pop that screamed 'serious potential' with every note.

Fast forward a few months and you might have seen the band opening our stage at Radio 1's Big Weekend. Despite the early slot, they pulled in a good crowd and were full of beans. Here's Huw Stephens to introduce this week's Tip of the Week:


Here they are at Big Weekend, kicking things off with their new single, Ribena (which you can download for free from their MySpace page):

If you liked that, you'll find plenty more to watch from Pegasus Bridge and the 17 other brand new acts that performed on our stage at the Radio 1's Big Weekend site.

Check out the photos and videos, and let us know which acts you enjoyed most.
