SOUTH Essex indie rock band Lady Grey and the Earls are appealing for support in their quest to make it to the V Festival this summer.

The five-piece hailing from Thurrock, Brentwood and Rayleigh, formerly know as The Hooks have entered a competition to win a place at the V Festival.

They now need people to register as a fan online.

To register go to http://roadtov.com/artist/lady-grey-and-the-earls/.

If you go to this page you will then need to add yourself to the V Festival as a fan before becoming a fan of Lady Grey and the Earls.

When registered as a fan it will tell you to go back to your email and open the V Festival message.

Then you'll have to find the band and add them.

The band with the most fans will play at V.
