The Linton Music Festival 2012 (15th -17th 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 an afternoon!

The music is loosely Rhythm & Blues based with a few surprises thrown in. 2011 was the most successful festival yet in terms of ticket sales, selling out 6 weeks in advance. We are confident that 2012 will be equally successful. We have first time appearances from established acts such as Earl Thomas, Eric Bell (Thin Lizzy) and Larry Miller plus young and evolving blues/rock acts Oli Brown and Chantel McGregor. By popular demand we see Bernie Marsden return as Sat headliner and we are very excited to have hot ticket acts Vintage Trouble (Classic Rock awards best new band 2011) plus King MO (2 times Dutch Blues Award winners). Its good see a past favourite back by popular demand, hence the return of The Grand Slambovians (Gandalf Murphy). 24 Pesos, The Mustangs and King King are amongst the rest of what we believe is one our hottest line ups yet!

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!
