Description
ABOUT THE BAIRNS
'Notable not least for their pioneering dedication to Scottish music at a time when Irish tunes largely reigned supreme, they founded their continuing reputation on unimpeachable traditional fidelity and taste, infused with a signature spark of mischief and imagination'
Jock Tamson's Bairns is one of our country's most respected bands, having carried the torch for true Scottish music since their inception at the end of the 1970s. Their 'Lasses Fashion' album of the 80s is still regarded as one of the finest expressions of the great revival of traditional music that helped shape and create the contemporary Scottish identity.
The Bairns are or have been involved in other influential groups - as members of Ossian, Easy Club, Ceolbeg, Cauld Blast Orchestra, The Ghillies and others; in dance bands such as The Occasionals or Bella McNabs; in Scottish theatre, radio and TV (everything from Communicado to Rab C Nesbitt); in composition, arrangement and publication of new music; and as teachers at Glasgow's RSAMD, Edinburgh's ALP Scots Music Group, and Skye's Gaelic College. Members have featured as guests on recordings with many other bands and performers.
