Band Name:Alex MacDonald Band

Band information:

We've been playing together with various lineups for around 15 years. The constants have been Alex MacDonald (vocals, guitars and harmonica) and Rob MacDonald (drums). The others on our recent album are Cailean Morison (keys), Phil Onslow (bass), Donald Forsyth (guitar) and Olivia Ross (fiddle). We've released 4 self-produced albums. We've played all over Scotland in a variery of venues from village halls and churches to larger ones like Leith Town Hall and the Rothes Halls. The vast majority of our repertoire is made up of original compositions by Alex MacDonald. Our musical style ranges from folk to folk rock.
