Rough Diamonds by Alan Reid and Rob van Sante

Rough-Diamonds-15kx15kAlan Reid wrote this song to celebrate the common folk, the workers and in this case the Lothian Miners and the ill fated coal industry in Scotland. Rough Diamonds refers to the “Salt of the Earth”, the honest working man..

Alan Reid and Rob van Sante joined forces in 2001 whilst working with Scotland’s finest Folk Group Battlefield Band, Alan underpinning the backbone of the band’s material whilst Rob took care of the sound.

After leaving the group in 2010 Alan and Rob have toured worldwide enchanting audiences in Germany, Holland, Italy, America, Canada, New Zealand and Australia.

The duo is well known for their strong material, their virtuoso musicianship and their warm and intimate approach towards their audiences.
