Battlefield Band
Saturday, November 23, 2002

Tickets -  $19 ($10 ages 18 and under)

"The Battlefield Band is turning into a national treasure, and 
exemplifies the ongoing nature of Scottish musical tradition. 
Not seen them yet?  Shame on you." 
- Edinburgh Evening News

Under the banner "Forward with Scotland's Past," the Battlefield
Band plays Scottish music of rare passion and joy.  Inspired by
their rich heritage of Celtic music and fired by the strength of
today's Scottish cultural scene (which they themselves have done
much to create and fuel), the Battlefield Band mixes the old 
songs with new self-penned material, and performs them on
a unique fusion of ancient and modern instruments - bagpipe, 
fiddle, synthesizer, guitar, cittern, flute, bodhran, and accordion. 

Don't miss this legendary band when they perform at Fermilab's 
Ramsey Auditorium on Saturday, November 23 at 8 p.m.

This is the gold standard, the band against which all others are
measured. After 30 years they still lead the way for Scottish music - 
introducing new musicians, new music, always involving their ever-
widening audience as they travel the world. 

During this tour the band welcomes the return of Pat Kilbride. 
A member of the band in the mid-70's, and featured on the classic
album At the Front, this will be his second stint on the Battlefield. 
Add him to the Battlefield Band mix of experience and musicianship -
founding member Alan Reid on keyboards and vocals, fiddle prodigy 
Alasdair White, bagpipe virtuoso Mike Katz - and they're off again. 
A unique blend making a unique band.
