New format for Fife

Twelve bands have registered (down from 16 entries because of Covid) and they will be competing for prizes for music performance, and a separate award for the most entertaining band. Results are expected around 4.30pm. There will be a lunchtime concert by Clackmannan District Youth and Development Band, starting at approximately 12.40pm.

Ticket prices are £10 and £6 concession, payable on the day from the ticket desk. Further information about the festival is available from Anne McInnes at annemcinnes27@outlook.com
