"The Arran Convict", Alan Reid & Rob van Sante

"The Arran Convict", performed by Alan Reid & Rob van Sante (www.www.reidvansante.com) in concert at the Institute of Musical Traditions (www.imtfolk.org), St. Mark Presbyterian Church, Rockville, Maryland, USA on November 7, 2011.

Alan Reid was an ever-present member of the Battlefield Band from 1969 through 2010. After four decades, he decided that it was time to bow out, in order to develop his writing and to follow other musical paths and partnerships. This year, Alan has released a new CD, Recollection, a compilation that takes a retrospective look at some of the finest songs Alan wrote during his forty years with Battlefield Band.

Alan will be accompanied by his duo partner Rob van Sante. They'll be performing many of the songs well loved by Battlefield Band fans everywhere, along with new material. This seminal figure of the Scottish folk revival is embarking on the next stage of his illustrious career.

Sound: Art Isaacs, Ben Majchrzak, Dave Eisner, Dave Richardson

Camera: Dick Tufts, Laura Christoplos, Emily Whiting
