The Wurzels end Somerset gig after illness in soaring temperatures
Pete Budd - who's nearly 85 years old - and accordionist Tommy Banner fell unwell at the Party in the Palace stage in Wells
Two of the members of iconic West Country band - The Wurzels - had to abruptly end their set over the weekend amid the soaring temperatures.
The mercury reached well over 30 degrees Celsius, with Pete Budd - who's nearly 85 years old - and accordionist Tommy Banner feeling unwell at the Party in the Palace stage in Wells.
On their Facebook page, a statement read: "Following an extremely hot show last weekend, but both Pete and I appear to have fully recovered from sun and heat exhaustion.
"Up on stage there was no air moving and we were facing straight into the direct, unobstructed rays of a very strong sun.
"Personally, I have to say a big thank you to the Security lads who looked after me so well after they took me into a cool room behind the Stage, and then to the nurse, I think called Laura, all of them getting my temperature back down to normal before being allowed to go home in our bus.
"Thank you all for your kind messages of concern, we're now well rested, refreshed and ready to go!"
