Alan Reid was one of the founder members of Battlefield Band and an invaluable factor in their success and longevity.
His latest project ‘The Rise and Fall o' Charlie’ gives a chronological account in song of one of Scotland's most romanticised characters - Charles Edward Stewart - who nearly changed the course of British history.
"Alan Reid and Rob van Sante revisit the myth of the man who would be king in this nicely programmed set, combining the full-blown romance of traditional songs with a more sober revisionist look at history in Reid's own songs...." The Scotsman
"Whatever ones' feelings about the Jacobite cause there can be no disagreement about the quality of every track on this album..." The Scots Magazine
