A group of elementary school children from Wales have been slated to open up for former Led Zeppelin frontman Robert Plant at his Forest Live Festival set this weekend. The five young students at Ysgol OM Edwards in Llanuwchllyn, Gwynedd (yes, those are all real words, apparently) between ages 10-11 are part of a band called Y Storm. They even write their own lyrics in both English and Welsh!

Two of the kids belong to Liam Tyson, who plays guitar with Plant’s Sensational Space Shifters.
The youngsters have won competitions, including the Eisteddfod, a youth festival in Wales for literature, music and performing arts. “For their age they’d give anybody a run,” said their supportive father. Keep it up, kids!
