BK010 Alan Reid - Martyrs, Rogues & Book 12.49
Worthies
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.

certainly a strong follow-up to her previous album. "All of Annie's
work is worthy of a listen and I am certain that you will become as
captivated as I have with the energy, poetry and quality of her
CAIL007CD Annie S. Bell - Thochts O' Hame And CD 11.49
Beyond
Annie, now in her eighties, decided that her life's work should be
recorded by some means so that others could share her wonderful
cameos from a time gone by. It seemed logical that, as she still had
the stamina and ability, she should perform them herself. This
album is a collection of song and verse plus a couple of instrumental
pieces played in the traditional way on the button key melodeon and

CAIL010CD Jozef Lozowy - Filthy Knights And CD 11.49
Fayre Middens
At the age of seven, Jozef was taken to see the film 'Robin Hood'.
He was profoundly touched by the sound of the guitar and lute used in
the soundtrack and has since had a love for the music of the 11th
Century through to the beginning of the 18th. "I do not pretend to
stick to authentic arrangements and have no chance of affording
authentic or replica instruments. I play the pieces as I feel them
and believe that the mood captured seems to sum up the period with a
