THE annual Linton Festival runs this year from June 19 to 21, with a line-up that includes Wilko Johnson, Andy Fairweather Low and the Low Riders and Snakecharmer, six of the UK’s most highly esteemed and experienced rock musicians who have joined forces - original Whitesnake members Micky Moody and Neil Murray have teamed up with Laurie Wisefield (Wishbone Ash), Harry James (Thunder, Magnum), Adam Wakeman (Ozzy Osbourne) and Chris Ousey (Heartland) to create classic twin-guitar based rock as it should be played.
Former Dr Feelgood guitarist and Blockhead Wilko Johnson has been making headlines beyond the world of music this year. Having been given a terminal diagnosis in 2012 - 'I'm supposed to be dead now," he says - further investigation led to doctors revising the diagnosis and operating to remove the tumour.
Linton Festival runs from June 19-21 at The Alma Inn in Linton, near Ross-on-Wye. For full line-up details and to book, go to lintonfestival.org
