Music ranged from Bon Jovi to Florence and the Machine, when a band from a WNAT school took to the stage at Festival Too in Lynn.

Performing as Queensway, the talented group from Springwood High School included Alice in Year 10 and Lola in Year 13 on vocals; Josh in Year 10 on guitar; Joe, also Year 10, on bass guitar; Anna in Year 12 on keyboard; and alumnus Leon, who left last year, on drums.

Assistant Headteacher, Pete Cuss, is Head of Arts at the school, and supported the band in rehearsals and on the day.

“Springwood always gets invited to perform at Festival Too,” he said. “It’s always a great honour, and a life memory for our students.”

The band performed to an audience of around 300 people as part of the Festival’s ‘Lazy Sunday’ event in King Staithe Square on 28 June, playing a range of popular covers which included hits from the Manic Street Preachers, Bon Jovi, Fleetwood Mac, Amy Winehouse, and Florence and the Machine.

Mr Cuss added: “A highlight was seeing our students entertain a busy crowd, performing alongside some excellent local bands and headliners Ska Souls.

“For our students to perform at Festival Too is always an experience they cherish. Festival Too is a professional festival experience, and giving our students this opportunity is something we will always be grateful for.”.
