Line-Up

Released in 2011, 'Line-up' is a superb album from the award winning Battlefield Band, one of the great institutions of the Scottish music scene.
A bedrock of music and talent for over four decades, they continue to lead the way with their inspired fusion of ancient and modern traditional music and song.
Following the handing of the baton from long-term member Alan Reid to new recruit Ewen Henderson, this album found Battlefield Band yet again moving on to a new, exciting period in their musical development, whilst building on the solid foundations that have always been key to their success.
Artists on this album: Battlefield Band - Mike Katz (highland and small pipes, whistles, bass, guitar, vocals) Alasdair White (fiddle, whistle, bouzouki, vocals) Sean O'Donnell (guitar, vocals) Ewen Henderson (fiddle, vocals, highland pipes) & guest Mike Whellans (moothie / harmonica )

This is essential listening for all lovers of traditional music. Battlefield Band's aptitude for instrumental color, nuance, expression and internal dynamics is, if anything, sharper than ever and these recordings showcase Scotland's great flagship band in peak form; with fiery instrumentals, plaintive ballads and songs of social history finding them fresh, invigorated, and illustrating yet again that they are among the most relevant contemporary composers and interpreters of Celtic music today.
