Frederick, MD. --- The Weinberg Center for the Arts is proud to present Battlefield Band on Thursday November 20, 2003 at 7:30 p.m.

Battlefield Band plays Scottish music of rare passion and joy. Inspired by their rich heritage of Celtic music and fired by the strength of today’s Scottish Cultural scene, Battlefield Band mix the old songs with new self-penned material, and perform them on a unique fusion of ancient and modern instruments, a bagpipe, fiddle, synthesiser, guitar, cittern, flute, bodhran, and accordion.

This is the gold standard, the band against which all others are measured. After 30 years they still lead the way for Scottish music—introducing new musicians, new music; always involving their ever widening audiences as they travel the world.

Tickets cost $15 and $25 to purchase call 301-228-2828 or stop by the Weinberg Center Tuesday thru Friday 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday 10:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
