Product Description
Album Description
Emigrants and emigration are making the headlines all over the world. The problems and benefits are highlighted in the press, the TV, radio and discussed in pubs, over the dining table, and in dubiously reasoned political debate, as politicians search for the populist vote. The path of emigration is a well-trodden one in the history of the Celtic nations, so it is no surprise that many songs and compositions have been inspired by the subject. Battlefield Band have touched on the subject on past albums. On this album, as they were rehearsing and recording, the theme of 'displacement of people' sort of took over.

Battlefield Band have not tried to come up with any answers; just music and song, contemporary and traditional that show how the issue of 'Immigration' has always been as relevant as it is today.
