!VIFS Presents THE BATTLEFIELD BA~TI :KEENE STATE COLLEGE - RECITAL HALL - 8:00 P.lY;. THURSDAY - APRIL 22 Excitement prevails!
The name BATTLEFIELD BAND has been at the forefront of the tremendous
resurgence of Scottish music that has been going on since the mid-70s.
They have pioneered the use of such diverse instruments as organ,
electric piano, synthesiser, fiddle and Highland and Northumbrian
bagpipes. By an approach that is ever'respectful of their tradition,
and yet allows them to be startingly original; they have broken do\vn
many musical barriers, reaching an ever-widening audience throughout
the world.
Quoting from The Scotsman, "They came and went like the Concorde,
playing gigs and reels with someting akin to fury. Their slower
pieces, by contrast, were elgantly poised."
And the West Highland Free Press has said, "It would be difficult
to find a traditional line-up as good as this anywhere in the world."
On Thursday, April 22, anywhere in the world will be the acousticaly
exquisite Recital Hall at Keene State College. Tickets may be purchased
($5.50 advance, $6.50 door) at Yankee Lady Records in Keene, the
Toadstool Eookstore in Peterborough, and Maple Leaf Music in Erattleboro.
This concert is sure to be a big one, so get your tickets early. For
more information call (603) 827-3054.
