‘It’s nerve-racking’: Student band set to open final night of Festival Too

A group of teenaged students are set to open the final day of Lynn’s Festival Too this evening.

The Walkman, who are a nine-piece group, will be the first act on stage for the last day of the free festival on the Tuesday Market Place on Saturday.

The group has been allocated a 20-minute section of the show, from 6.50pm to 7.10pm, ahead of Domape, The Extons, Newton Faulkner and headliners Feeder.

It’s set to be the second time that The Walkman – made up of students whose ages vary between 14 and 17 – will open the event.

Patricia Sambaryte, leader of the group, said: “It’s quite nerve-racking really but we are excited to open again.

“Really we are all just hoping for a good and lively crowd for the evening.
