Biography

Battlefield Band is a Scottish traditional music group. Founded in Glasgow in 1969, it has undergone many changes of lineup, though founding member Alan Reid has remained a constant presence. Several former members, notably John McCusker, have developed distinguished solo careers. The band is noted for its combination of bagpipes with other instruments, and its mix of traditional songs and tunes with new material.
