Battlefield Band
Beckman Auditorium
- Public Event
Inspired by their rich heritage of Celtic music and fired by the strength of today's Scottish Cultural scene, which they have done much to create and fuel, Battlefield Band perform a music of rare passion and joy under the banner "Forward With Scotland's Past." Refusing to be limited musically, they have mixed the old songs with original new material, playing them on a unique fusion of ancient and modern instruments - bagpipe, fiddle, synthesiser, guitar, cittern, flute, bodhran and accordion.
Named after the Glasgow suburb of Battlefield, where the group was formed by four student friends, Battlefield Band have been on the world's roads for 30 years, distilling their own unique form of the Scottish spirit and bottling it in concert and on disc. Angry, joyful, raucous, contemplative, their music is most importantly accessible to all.
