COMD2080

Released in 1999, this is the second album by this line-up, who established themselves with both critics, and more importantly, their audience as one of the best.

Alan Reid (keyboards/vocals), John McCusker (fiddle/whistle/accordion/cittern), Davy Steele (guitar/bouzouki/bodhran & vocals), Mike Katz (small & highland pipes/whistle & bass).

The album has a high proportion of newly composed tunes and songs.

KAYE McALPINE, EVENING NEWS - Its hard to resort to cliches but why apologise - quite simply, the Battlefield Band have done it again and created a peach of an album.

KEITH HUDSON, TAPLAS - After over a quarter of a century some bands might begin to sound a little jaded but Scotlands Battlefield Band just get riper and riper.
