Alan Reid Books

Alan Reid has been at the heart of the Battlefield Band since the early days in 1969 and has seen them grow from a pub band in the west of Scotland to an internationally acclaimed concert group. In this book Alan has chosen his favourite traditional songs from those he has sung and recorded, but mainly this is document of the considerable body of the songs and tunes that he has composed over the years. Many have become Battlefield Band classics and are becoming part of the modern folk repertoire. With guitar chords and explanatory notes for 37 songs and 27 tunes, this is a collection for anyone interested in the songs and music of Scotland, old and new.
