The Stencil Pencils, a young band from Milton Keynes, will be taking to the stage this weekend alongside Sam Ryder for a celebration of city status.
The young band, made up of Indiana Harris-Herbert, her brother Johnson and brother Kale who has Asperger’s syndrome, have made local and national headlines since forming back in 2020.
After forming in the first national lockdown as part of a school project, The Stencil Pencils have since produced several songs, made TV appearances and performed on several big stages including Camp Bestival and MKFM's Christmas Light switch on.
Most recently, the band has released a single named 'MK City', celebrating Milton Keynes being honoured with city status, which has taken over MKFM's airwaves as part of MKFM Introducing.
Now, the talented young group of siblings will be taking to the stage this Saturday at Station Square alongside Sam Ryder, recent Eurovision runner up and TikTok star.
