The Isle of Wight's music scene is a "success story that breeds success", BBC presenter Steve Lamacq has said.

Along with fellow presenter Huw Stephens, he presented Lamacq's Teatime Session live from the Strings Bar & Venue in Newport on BBC Radio 6 Music and BBC Sounds to mark Independent Venue Week (IVW).

Stephens, who started the show by making an announcement over the loudspeaker on a Wightlink ferry, said it was "brilliant" to be on the island.

"There is quite a bit of a local scene down here," Lamacq noted, calling it a "great success story that breeds success".

Speaking to BBC South Today before the broadcast, Stephens said IVW "makes people realise what's on their doorsteps, and what venues like Strings bring to the local community.

"If you don't use them and celebrate them and support them and have a great time in doing so, there is a very real chance of them going."
