An Edinburgh-born classical musician has won one of the world's most prestigious music competitions.

Sean Shibe, 19, a student at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, picked up the top award and 15,000 prize money in the Royal Over-Seas League 59th Annual Music Competition in London.

The former City of Edinburgh Music School pupil said: "To be one of the youngest ever recipients of this award, and only the second guitarist to win in 60 years, is a real honour."

His future plans include solo recitals at this year's Fringe.
