Battlefield Band

at: Mayo Civic Center - Presentation Hall

4/8/2006 7:30 PM

MLT Group and Charter Communications present the Scottish Celtic ensemble the Battlefield Band on Saturday, April 8, 2006 at 7:30 PM in the Mayo Civic Center - Presentation Hall. Inspired by their rich heritage of Celtic music and fired by the strength and vibrancy of today's Scottish cultural scene, which indeed they have done much to create and fuel, they have led, and been at the forefront, of a great revival in Scottish music. Refusing to be limited musically by suffocating antiquarianism, or the music business' fashions, they have mixed the old songs and music with a new self-penned repertoire, all played on a fusion of ancient and modern instruments - bagpipes, fiddle, synthesizer, guitar, flutes, 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 just on 30 years now, distilling their own unique form of the Scottish spirit and bottling it in concert and onto disc.
