A POP group have turned to the past as they strive to have a hit of the future.

The first single from Wickerman will commemorate this year's 60th anniversary of VE Day and the song, Save Me, deals with the horrific cost of war.

To get the right nostalgic touch for the video, the band shot scenes in the reconstructed settings offered by the Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington, near York, and Eden Camp, near Malton.

Wickerman are a new four-piece band comprising brothers Tom and Tim Hudson, and Chris Fawcett and Mark James.

They come from York and Scarborough and took their name from the classic British horror film starring Christopher Lee, Edward Woodward and Britt Ekland.

The video is being produced by their management company, Hard Cheese, based at Shipton-by-Beningbrough, near York, and the track is expected to be played over the summer on MTV.
