The Battlefield Band play scottish music of rare passion and joy
Those of us who went to their sold out concert last year will be pleased to hear they are back in NZ to do a concert in Whangarei
Venue: Forum North Whangarei
Cost: $45pp $32 for students/seniors with ID
Bookings: Forum North 09 4304244 Ticketek
Inspired by their rich heritage of Celtic music and fired by the strength and vibrancy of today's Scottish cultural scene, which indeed they have done much to create and fuel, they have led, and been at the forefront, of a great revival in Scottish music. Refusing to be limited musically by suffocating antiquarianism, or the music business' fashions, they have mixed the old songs and music with a new self-penned repertoire, all played on a fusion of ancient and modern instruments - bagpipes, fiddle, synthesiser, guitar, flutes, bodhran and accordion. More about them

A bus will be provided for Waipu people. The bus will leave the Museum at 12.30pm and bookings
