Dookin
Product Description
Dookin
- Dookin' is the Scots word for what you do at hallowe'en - as in 'dookin' for apples - and that's just what Battlefield Band have been doing for all these years; dookin' into the great pool of Scottish (and Irish) music and song, not to mention adding to that pool with songs and tunes of their own.
- Released in 2007, this is the first album to feature Derry born Sean O'Donnell on guitar and vocals, who joins the established line-up of Alan Reid, Mike Katz and Alasdair White. As always with Battlefield Band, there's a continuity from one album to the next but there's always something new and surprising from this band of virtuoso and creative musicians.
