Linties hatched from a Scots Music Group singing class in Edinburgh,and since 2003 have been arranging harmonies for a rich and varied repertoire of atmospheric and earthy songs.
Linties have performed at music festivals and folk clubs throughout Scotland including Keith, Kirriemuir, Linlithgow and Innerleithen festivals and at Stirling, Dunfermline, Nitten, Melrose and Edinburgh Folk Clubs. In 2006, Linties won the Best Overall Performance at the Orkney Festival’s Open Stage and in 2007 made the “Highly Recommended” list at Celtic Connections’ Danny Kyle Open Stage.
Linties are also great affectionados of the great Glasgow songwriter Matt McGinn, and have taken part for many years in the Linlithgow Folk Festival Association Matt McGinn Tribute Evening.
Above all, Morag, Helen and Iyaah want to entertain their audiences and to enjoy themselves – singing like Linties.
Linties are regularly joined by Stuart Miller, a fine singer/songwriter from Falkirk, who also sings with the Urban Tonkerers.

Hi there to you all Thanks a lot for your friendship. Really enjoyed listening to your tracks. I see you'r eplaying Innerleithen next weekend.
