 Mike Katz
A superb and versatile musician, bagpiper Mike Katz joined the Battlefield Band line-up in late 1997and has contibuted massively to the music and accessibility of the band. Not really a guest in this case, as the band are co-hosting the event along with Newbattle Abbey. Mike will be appearing with Battlefield Band and instructing at the piping workshops. You can watch a video below and find out more about him at www.battlefieldband.co.uk
'One of America's finest exports to Scotland, Katz's playing is impeccable, with every note as sharp as a bell'
Chet Williamson

'No one can call the Battlefield Band's Mike Katz a bog-standard piper. He's always taken an eclectic approach to the instrument... ...Katz is a master at what he does, and his joy in presenting it is palpable.'
Chris Nickson

'… piper Mike Katz's tunes with their droll titles remind you that their creativity isn't just a product of the recording studio…'
