COMD2045

With this album Alan Reid (vocals/keyboards) and Alistair Russell (vocals, guitar and cittern) are pleased to welcome Iain MacDonald (Highland pipes, flute and whistle) and John McCusker (fiddle, accordion, keyboards, cittern and whistle) to the Band. With them they bring an enviable mixture of musical maturity and youth that will see Battlefield Band lead the way through the 1990s.

EDINBURGH EVENING NEWS - Battlefield Band have a new line-up, a new sound ... and a new album which is certainly their best yet. No mean feat when you consider theyve a dozen good ones behind them already.

EAST LOTHIAN COURIER - With other bands edging away from their Celtic roots its good to see the likes of Battlefield Band continuing to keep the faith with music that is both unique in presentation and yet which has an appeal to lovers of traditional music the world over.
