Every summer Kings Lynn holds a free music festival, called
Festival Too, held in the town centre spread over a few weekends. During the days, there are clowns and various other street entertainments going on, and by night the market place fills with people (15,000 this year so we're told) and the stage is taken by not only names like Toyah, Atomic Kitten, Heather Small (last year), and The Human League (from 2006) but also tribute bands and local bands.
This year we were lucky enough to have performances by Toyah, The Commitments, After Hours, T-Rextasy, Boot-Led-Zeplin, Pentasonic and local bands - The First, After Hours Blues Band,
The Brink, and
Kuda. This years Festival was headed lined by Atomic Kitten!
I only went to the final night, that featured The Brink, Kuda and Atomic Kitten - mainly as my brother plays bass for Kuda - I'm not really into the girlie pop stuff! Give me some Glamorous Indie Rock 'n' Roll anyday....

(apologies Keith - I seem to have cut you in half!)
Both bands were brilliant, and I'm glad that LOG has finally seen Kuda play - he can now no longer say they're a imaginary band! Plus I got a badge from The Brink!

By the sounds of it, every night was brilliant (despite the rain) with crowds of people and a great atmosphere. There's not many towns that can say they have a totally free music festival every summer and get acts like Atomic Kitten to perform!
Next year we've been promised bigger and better - which the organisers keep delivering, so it'll be interesting to see who we get next year! I've got my fingers crossed for the Foo Fighters or 30 Seconds to Mars....or maybe even Muse.... now to see any of them I'd claim my place at the front......from dawn.....with Jenny right beside me!
