Under their banner ‘Forward with Scotland’s Past’, Battlefield Band have been performing on the international scene for four decades, inspired by their rich heritage of Celtic music and fired by the strength of the modern Scottish cultural scene. The band, who pioneered the integration of bagpipes with fiddle, keyboards, guitar and voice, mix the old songs and tunes with new self-penned material, playing them on a unique fusion of ancient and modern instruments.
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 40 years they still lead the way for Scottish music, always involving their ever widening audience as they travel the world.

I was delighted to find you a few months ago and could hear you on any of my internet radios. Now, I can no longer pick you up on internet radio. I can still hear you on my computer.
Has you signal changed? Is there a reason I can’t connect with the radio?
Best, Ron
Hi Ron
Please contact us via email rather than via comments on posts. Details here: http://www.folkradio.co.uk/about-us/
It is most likely due the listing service your radio uses not being updated.
Thanks
Alex
