Grab your kilt and your bagpipes because this is one band that will take you directly to the heart of Scotland with its foot-tapping music. Get your tickets to see Battlefield Band, the most definitive Scottish music band on the planet that has almost single-handedly spread the folk music of Scotland all across the world. The band has also been the training ground for many of Scotland's best musicians who have gone on to make their mark in the international field of music.

Battlefield Band has been thirty years in the making and is still going strong. The band is heavily inspired by Scottish and Celtic elements as well as folk strains, which are integrated into all of their music. During their journey, the line up has changed a number of times but the band has expertly moved from one set of musicians to the next with ease, never losing sight of their sound or perspective when it comes to making good music.

The band was formed by four student friends and named after a Glasgowian suburb. Not only has the band pushed borders in terms of musical arrangements, they have also done an extensive amount of research into 'dead' songs and revived many of them on their albums. The band incorporates traditional instruments like the bagpipe and cittern with modern ones like the keyboard and synthesizer. Being an instrument-based folk band has not limited the band from exploring new themes and instruments, as is seen from a number of their own compositions which resonate with a raw and raucous passion and energy, echoing the sentiments of many ancient Scottish tunes.

Critics and fans alike agree that the band's most stellar studio effort is the album Stand Easy which was released in 1979. Even today, the band continues to churn out performance after breathtaking performance along with a steady line of critically acclaimed albums. Arguably the most traveled folk outfit in the world, Battlefield Band has managed to spread the strains of Scotland as far away as Sri Lanka and Uzbekistan.
