IMA
Award Vox Pop Winner: ‘World Traditional Song’
|

Temple Records are very pleased to announce
that on 13th August 2014, Battlefield Band’s song
'Bagpipe Music' was named as the Vox Pop winner in the
‘World Traditional Song’ Category at the
13th Independent Music Awards. The song is the opening
track on their recent ‘Room Enough For All’
album, and is based on the great poem by Louis MacNeice.
The Vox Pop award winners are selected by public vote
– this year’s winners include Suzzy Roche,
Lucy Wainwright Roche, Pierre Bensusan and the late
great Pete Seeger - and this is the second time Battlefield
Band has been honoured, having previously won in the
same category in 2012.
‘Room
Enough For All' was previously awarded ‘Album
Of The Year’ at the MG Alba Scots Trad
Music Awards in December 2013. The group are very pleased
to have now been recognised by the prestigious STMA
awards for a third time in the band's 45 year history,
having previously been awarded 'Best Live Act' at the
inaugural awards ceremony in 2003 and 'Scottish Folk
Band of the Year' in 2011.

Battlefield
Band awarded ‘Album Of The Year’ at the MG Alba
Scots Trad Music Awards 2013 |
Battlefield
Band’s ‘Room Enough For All’ was
awarded ‘Album Of The Year’ at the MG Alba
Scots Trad Music Awards 2013. The group are honoured to
have now been recognised by the awards for a third time
in the band's 45 year history, having previously been
awarded 'Best Live Act' at the inaugural awards ceremony
in 2003 and 'Scottish Folk Band of the Year' in 2011.
The
awards ceremony, which was televised on BBC Alba, was
held in Aberdeen Music Hall on Saturday 7th December
2013, in front of an audience of musicians, traditional
music fans and representatives of the Scottish Government
and cultural organisations.
Piper
Mike Katz said “Battlefield Band are
very honoured to have won this award, particularly so
as it was voted for by the public. The band would like
to give our sincere thanks and dedicate the award not
only to our audience, but also to the many musicians,
agents, promoters and venues we have worked with over
the years. Without these people we would not have had
the privilege of finding an audience. Simon Thoumire
and his ‘Hands Up For Trad’ team obviously
put in a massive amount of organisational work to make
the awards run smoothly and they do a great job in terms
of promoting traditional music.
We
have been told that votes came in from all over the
world, and we look forward to perhaps saying ‘thank
you’ personally during our upcoming tours. In
January 2014, we will be on tour in Germany, Switzerland
& France, and we'll be touring in the USA in March
& April 2014, so we hope to see you somewhere along
the road!”
