The village of Linton, near Ross, is hosting its fifth annual charity music and ale festival this weekend.

This three-day open air festival, held at the rear of The Alma Inn, raised more than £4,000 for local charities last year and attracts blues bands from all over Britain.

Fleetwood Mac tribute act Rumours play tonight (Friday) and Texan singer Sherman Robertson teams up with Blues Move tomorrow.

Other bands include Lightnin Willie and The Poorboys, Ricochet, Dana Gillespie and the London Blues Band and Bristol's Out Go The Lights.

The Alma is off the M50 at Junction 3. Tickets cost Friday £14, Saturday £18 and Sunday £10. Details from Ross TIC on 01989 562768 or the Alma on 01989 720355.
