Alan Reid and Rob van Sante in Concert October 19, 2012

Alan Reid was an ever-present member of celebrated Scottish folk group, Battlefield Band, from its inception in 1969 until late 2010. Rob van Sante, born in Holland, has lived most of his life in the north of England and has long been involved in the U.K. folk scene. Alan & Rob present an evening of old and new music, featuring Alan's compositions, Battlefield Band favorites and contributions from Rob. The show combines open tuned lead and accompaniment guitar work from Rob, Alan's keyboard, guitar and accordion and fine harmony singing from both. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to hear these legends of Scottish folk music in the historic surroundings of the Academy Gallery with the release of their latest album inspired by the life of our Revolutionary Naval hero and fellow Scotsman, John Paul Jones.
