Special Guests

This event will showcase some of the best & most respected musicians in Scotland, including
Tich Frier, Mike Whellans, Allan MacDonald, George Duff, Chloe Matharu & Michael Marra
. It will be a great opportunity for Battlefield Band to perform with, and introduce you to some of their favourite musicians so it should be a fantastic weekend. We'll update this page with videos & information on all the artists appearing very soon...


Mike Whellans
Mike Whellans is the real thing, a keeper of the one-man blues band flame that burned so passionately in the work of this highly specialised form’s masters, including Doctor Isaiah Ross, Jesse Fuller and Whellans’ great British forerunner, Tony ‘Duster’ Bennett.

If you’re already familiar with Whellans, you’ll know to expect a fired up and
ready one man blues band explosion. But if this is your introduction, prepare to
hear a talent who’s not only his own man as a singer, guitarist and ace blues
harpist, he’s his own rhythm section, too.

You can watch a video below & find out more at: www.mikewhellans.com

'...one of Scotland's heroes, a bluesman of amazing ability...a totally brilliant one man band.'
Mike Harding, BBC Folk & Acoustic Website

'...just about the best time you can have while staying within the bounds of decency....The newly converted Seasick Steve fans should make this top notch treat their next discovery'
