Linton Music Festival group

The Linton Music Festival 2013 (21st -23rd June)

The Linton Music Festival is based at the Alma Inn which happens to be blessed with a natural amphitheatre in its back garden. Overlooking the Herefordshire countryside the grounds slope down to a purpose built stage giving everyone a great view of the action. The festival is noted for its combination of music, hay bales (provided for seating), locally produced food and the real ale festival that is run in parallel with the music. The perfect location to while away a weekend!

The music is loosely Rhythm & Blues based with a few surprises thrown in. For 2013 we have one of the most exciting line-ups yet! Sandi Thom (Joe Bonamassa's other half) makes her Linton debut with her very tight band on Sat. By popular demand we see Larry Miller, Ruby Turner and Ben Poole return and we are very excited to have The Union (feat. Thunder guitarist Luke Morley) headline Friday. Flying in from the USA we have one of the leading young representatives of blues heritage in Marquise Knox, from Ireland Classic Rocks' top tip for the blues genre Grainne Duffy. Rory Gallagher fans will not want to miss Gerry McAvoys Band Of Friends.

Hayseed Dixie close out Sunday in a way they've been doing for years at major festivals. With the Nimmo Brothers and young blues artists Jay Tamkin, Mitch Laddie plus more we have a very dynamic roster this year!

Car Parking is free on the outskirts of the village (approx 500 yards). Ample festival camping is available at the venue (less than 50 yards away) for a small charge and there are other permanent camping and caravan facilities nearby. Children under 14 are free when accompanied by an adult ticket holder. The festival is an outdoor event but marquees around the perimeter of the arena provide shade from the sun (and rain)!
