We'll update this page with videos & information on all the artists appearing very soon...

Ewen Henderson The most recent recruit to the Battlefield Band ranks, Ewen hails from the Scottish West Highland town of Fort William, and has been naturally steeped in the traditional music, Gaelic language and culture of the area. Now in his early twenties, he started learning the fiddle at the age of five, and has since mastered an impressive array of other instruments, having had the privilege of being taught by many of the true masters of West Highland traditional music, from Aonghas Grant Snr on fiddle to Angus MacColl on bagpipes, whilst also being influenced by his strong family musical heritage. Ewen is superbly talented, and has quickly established himself as a strong musical force within the band. We look forward to playing with him and to introducing another great musician to our worldwide audience. He's not really a guest in this case, as the band are co-hosting the event along with Newbattle Abbey. You'll be able to find out more about him soon at www.battlefieldband.co.uk
