Duelling Fiddles... ...Battlefield Band in Concert at the Music Tryst Festival 2010

This set of music by Scottish traditional group Battlefield Band, was recorded on September 18th 2010, at their inaugural Music Tryst Festival at Newbattle Abbey in Scotland. The line up for this show was:

Fiddle - Alasdair White & Ewen Henderson
Bagpipes - Mike Katz
Guitar - Sean O'Donnell
Keyboards: Alan Reid

This set primarily features the fiddle talents of Alasdair White & young multi-instrumentalist Ewen Henderson, the latter having only joined the band in 2010. The band will remain as a five piece group for a US & Canadian tour in Nov 2010 before Ewen picks up the baton from founder member Alan Reid, who leaves the band at the end of the year.
