PIV 2007 Festival Line Up !

    "What the internationally renowned Irish band, The Chieftains, has done for Irish music, Battlefield Band. is doing for the music of Scotland."  BILLBOARD

Named after the Glasgow suburb of Battlefield, home to one of its founding members, this traditional Celtic band has toured the globe for some three decades.  Voted "Best Live Act" of the Scots Trad Music Awards, expect nothing short of a virtuoso performance.  The "Batties" mix the old songs with new self-penned material and perform them on a unique fusion of ancient and modern instruments - bagpipe, fiddle, synthesizer, guitar, cittern, flute, bodran and accordion.
Beautifully performed, The Road of Tears , the title cut of their new CD, embracing the age-old conflict of emigration and displacement, will surely bring a tear to the eye.  Battlefield Band is one of the most musically accomplished bands to grace our stage - an opportunity not to be missed!
