The West Lothian Traditional Song Group |

| This developing website, run by a Sangschule member, tells you about the location and activities of other groups which operate in the same way as Sangschule. | |
| Anice is a longstanding member of Sangschule, and her website is a source of valuable information about all sorts of folk and acoustic music events in West Lothian and round about. Follow her links to 'Folk music in West Lothian'. This is currently the main source of information on the web about the Almond Valley Folk Club, based in Midcalder. | |
| WLSG has now been running for about eight years and meets monthly. It provides opportunities for discussion and learning for everyone interested in the craft and science of songwriting, no matter how inexperienced you may be. Some of the group's members had never written a song before joining! | |
| West Lothian Council's award-winning website gives access to all sorts of musical and other activities in West Lothian, including those arranged by the Council's excellent Arts Unit. | |
| Christine Robinson of Scottish Language Dictionaries (a not-for-profit organisation) has visited Sangschule on a number of occasions to discuss the Scots Language - fascinating information, which enhances our understanding of the songs we sing. We would recommend this website for anyone interested in the past, present and future use of the Scots tongue. | |
| West Lothian's biggest annual folk event is now in its tenth year. The LFFA organises a range of events, bringing such stars as Tom Paxton and Eric Bogle (twice) to perform in the town, as well as a host of equally well-known Scottish performers. It offers many opportunities for local singers, and Sangschule members have taken advantage of this!
The now annual 'Matt McGinn Nights' are always a roaring success, and Sangschule members have been among the numerous performers of the works of Scotland's other national bard! |
