Scotland's growing national pride and rising interest in gaining independence from Great Britain have created a popular cultural revival of which the Glasgow-based Scottish folk group Battlefield Band has been a part. The "Batties" have been playing their jigs, reels, and marches for over 30 years and have released over 20 albums. They have entertained a growing multi-generational audience with their progressive Celtic music. The band's songs cover the traditional range, including remorseful ballads, pastoral celebrations, and the tavern song.
