Alan was a one-off! He was a gentleman and loved to help in any capacity he could - he was our H&S Officer from day one; our man on the decks for the senior’s Christmas parties; a conveyor at community meetings. He taught us life can be serious, but a bit of rib tickling, a smile and a good sense of humour gets you through everything. But, most of all he was our dear friend 💔

Will miss you Alan. Our love and thoughts are with Margaret and his much loved family

R.I.P Alan

VERY sad news that one of West Lothian's best-known community stalwarts, Alan Scott, passed away yesterday, from a brain tumour.
As a police officer in the county for many years, a board member and safety officer at Livingston Football Club and a lecturer at West Lothian College, there weren't many areas of West Lothian community life that Alan didn't impact on.
He was also a well-loved DJ and could be found delivering his unique brand of entertainment at many functions and charity presentations across the county.
But Alan, from Livingston, who turned 70 a few months ago, will probably more recently best be remembered as the man with the mic at the Miss West Lothian charity event, where he helped raise tens of thousands of pounds for local good causes. He was already in dicussion with organiser Rachel Adam about compering the 2024 event.
Rachel, a former Miss West Lothian winner said: "He was such a big part of Miss West Lothian and was so loved."
Numerous other former Miss West Lothian winners also paid tribute to Alan: Maria Przybylska said: "This is so sad. Alan lived for Miss West Lothian." Claire Molloy said: "I am so devastated to hear this." Jade Manson said: "He was such an amazing compere and such a lovely man." Ashley Woods said: "This is so sad, he was the best." Former organiser Emma Hanley said: "That's so sad, Alan did a lot for Miss West Lothian."
Eddie Anderson, who ran the Miss West Lothian event for 25 years and worked closely alongside Alan said: "Alan's death is tragic. He was a wonderful man, who cared so much about his local community. I was privileged to know him and learnt so much from him.
"He will be greatly missed by many."

We are extremely disappointed to take this decision, it was very, very hard. Lots of hard work goes into running an event from across all sections, the organisers, the bands, the ticket hubs and suppliers have poured hours into what would have been an awesome day. We have cancelled because people are not buying tickets and/or leaving it to the last minute. We cannot run the risk of not having enough sales but still needing to pay the exorbitant costs of running the event.

Lots of festivals and live events up and down the country are struggling as people make very difficult decisions on what they are going to do with their money, due to rising costs and the strain on their disposable income.

We wholeheartedly apologies for any inconvenience caused but be assured you will be refunded for your tickets. Online sales via Skiddle will be automatically refunded, if you have purchased a ticket via one of our official outlets then please speak to them directly about a refund - it will be a strict no ticket, no refund policy. You must return your ticket for a refund.

To all our amazing bands, charity partners, suppliers and stakeholders we can only thank you for all your amazing support

For note: before you comment please remember we are absolutely gutted at the moment. We are all volunteers. We didn’t cause the current economic crisis.
