The West Lothian Songwriters' Group Welcome to our website.
It is designed to help songwriters in West Lothian and round about to get together. We are some of the many performers on West Lothian's thriving acoustic music scene.
We know that a lot of people write songs, but aspiring songwriters have little chance to try them out in a supportive setting. We can give you that opportunity; we combine it with the chance of getting some constructive comments to help each of us improve our skills. Find out more about what we do and how we do it.
keep an eye open for any STOP PRESS information. Our regular meeting place is the Black Bitch, West Port, Linlithgow,West Lothian, on the first Monday of each month.
If you would be interested in taking part in these meetings, or would just like to hear more about our activities, please use the contacts shown lower down this page, or look at our programme for the next few months. In the words of Andrew Douglas: "Why not join a songwriters' group, and meet people as daft as yourself?"
