Our AGM was held on Monday 8th February. Due to the current covid19 restrictions, we couldn't meet at our spiritual home of the Black Bitch Tavern. This AGM saw us embrace ZOOM with reports from office holders presented and approved, feedback given on the year past and the discussion of possibilities for the year ahead.

The evening saw stalwart member Clare step down from the committee. We thank Clare for her commitment over many many years. The 2020/2021 committee comprises: Christine, Jonathan, Murdie, Neil, Rab, Robert, Steph and Susan.  We would very much like to add new faces to our committee and so if you wish to know more about us, please email This email address is being protected from spambots.

We hope to bring you some sort of festival in September (even an online one) and we'll keep you updated over the coming months.

The safety of festival attendees, artists and volunteers is our top priority. With the world in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic and living in uncertain times, we have made the decision to cancel the 2020 Linlithgow Folk Festival.

Over the coming period, we will continue to hold 'virtual' sessions on our facebook page - please drop in and enjoy the next one on Sunday 17th May.

We look forward to reuniting everyone on our return next year - with the 2021 festival being held between Wednesday 8th and Saturday 12th September 2021.

In the meantime, we wish everyone and their loved ones the very best of health.

The Linlithgow Folk Festival Association Team
