1991 gave us a 'New Spring' and a new Battlefield Band line-up; their first album to feature a young John McCusker (fiddle, accordion, keyboards, cittern and whistle) and Iain MacDonald (Highland pipes, flute and whistle) joining the established pair of Alan Reid (vocals/keyboards) and Alistair Russell (vocals, guitar and cittern). This mixture of musical maturity and youth ensured Battlefield Band continued to lead the way for Scottish traditional music.


"Battlefield Band have a new line-up, a new sound ... and a new album which is certainly their best yet. No mean feat when you consider they've a dozen good ones behind them already"
EDINBURGH EVENING NEWS

"With other bands edging away from their Celtic roots its good to see the likes of Battlefield Band continuing to keep the faith with music that is both unique in presentation and yet which has an appeal to lovers of traditional music the world over"
