Under their banner "Forward with Scotland's Past", Battlefield Band have been performing on the international scene for more than three decades, inspired by their rich heritage of Celtic music and fired by the strength of the modern Scottish cultural scene. The band, who pioneered the integration of bagpipes with fiddle, synthesizers, guitar and voice, mix the old songs and tunes with new self-penned material, playing them on a unique fusion of ancient and modern instruments.

This is the band that others measure themselves against. Over the years new members have brought with them new ideas, new music, new instruments, attitudes and influences, leading to continued creativity, freshness and enthusiasm. After 30 years they still lead the way for Scottish music, always involving their ever widening audience as they travel the world.

This concert is a special chance to see founding member Alan Reid (keyboard, accordions, vocals) in one of his last shows with the Battlefield Band (he will be leaving the band at the end of the year) and meet new member Ewen Henderson (fiddle, pipes, whistles, piano, vocals). The band also includes Sean O'Donnell (vocals, guitar), Alasdair White (fiddle, whistle, bouzouki, pipes) and Mike Katz (pipes, whistles).
