Linlithgow Folk Festival Association have been holding an annual Matt McGinn Tribute night for a good many years, the last one being in March 2023. Over the years we have covered many of Matt's best-known songs as well as some of his lesser-known ones. There should be a few on YouTube. We don't just sing them, we get appropriately costumed and act them out too. Local musicians formed the backing band. On several occasions performances have been attended by Matt's daughters, Eleanor and Shonagh, who gave us their seal of approval and friendship, as did Matt's wife Janette. Always a full house of people who have their own memories of Matt.
And there are others still continuing to hold tribute nights - as his friend Pete Seeger said, "Keep Matt McGinn singing"!
