A U2 tribute band with a musician from Keighley has played live on Radio 1.

Jake Newiss and his US4//U2 bandmates played the station's "Live Lounge" in place of the real U2.

They played two songs as part of Radio 1 events marking the release of U2's latest album and single.

While the tribute act performed in a room the size of a double bedroom the real band prepared for a major concert.

The members of US4//U2, who dress like their famous counterparts, were interviewed by presenter Nick Grimshaw.

Jake, 38, from Oakworth, has performed in bands in West Yorkshire for around two decades since starting out in Keighley groups.

With US4//U2 -- whose other members live in Leeds -- he regularly performs across the UK and Europe.

Upcoming gigs include St Patrick's night aboard a North Sea ferry and a summer outdoor festival in the Azores.

Jake and fellow US4//U2 members also play in Desilva, performing their own rock and pop material across the North.

Jake said the Radio 1 performance went down well with listeners, with many texting to say they sounded better than the real U2.

The appearance allowed band members to give out CDs of their Desilva songs to BBC DJs including Vernon Kay.

Future US4\\U2 concerts includes the Speakeasy, York, on March 12 and Strafford Arms, Wakefield, on March 21.
