Battlefield Band have been performing on the international scene for more than 30 years, inspired by their rich heritage of Celtic music and fired by the strength of the modern Scottish cultural scene. This is the band that others measure themselves against. "Billboard" magazine highlights their place in the music world by saying What the internationally renowned Irish band, The Chieftains, has done for Irish music, Battlefield Band is doing for the music of Scotland.

Over the years new members have brought with them new ideas, new music, new instruments, attitudes and influences, leading to continued creativity, freshness and enthusiasm. After three decades they still lead the way for Scottish music, always involving their ever-widening audience as they travel the world.
