Hundreds of people enjoyed live music in the sunshine at the weekend as Folk in the Town made a return to Lynn.

Taking place at the Tuesday Market Place on Saturday and Sunday, crowds could hear easy-listening sounds of traditional folk, rock, bluegrass and more.

Cllr Bal Anota, cabinet member for events and open spaces, said: “We had lovely weather, and lots of people came out to enjoy the outstanding performances that took place in the Tuesday Market Place.

“I would like to say a big thank all the performers both local and from afar, and also Adrian Tebbutt who helped put together these fantastic acts for us to delight in.

“This successful event is a strong start to our summer programme and I would encourage everyone to come into town and relish in what Lynn has to offer.”

Richard Tree from KL1 radio said: ‘It was great to compère Folk in the Town once again and meet some brilliant bands both new to the Festival and welcome returnees.

“We have some incredible local talent in West Norfolk and beyond and it’s great that this event gives them the platform to show off their skills. Headline acts, Man the Lifeboats and Georgia Shackleton didn’t disappoint.”
