Formed in 1975 in the Glasgow suburb of Battlefield, the Battlefield Band offers "the real Scotland," an intoxicating blend of bagpipes, synthesizer, fiddle and vocal. Founding member, keyboardist and vocalist Alan Reid, 18 year old fiddle prodigy, Alasdair White, Highland piper Mike Katz, and singer and guitarist Pat Kilbride, a major songwriting talent rejoining the band after a twenty-five year absence, draw the Freight audience "forward with Scotland's past" performing songs from their latest album, Happy Daze (Temple Rounder), as well as from an as of now unnamed album the band has just completed recording.
