Scottish Dance Bands
An Teallach Ceilidh Band
|
|
|
"An Teallach (pronounced "an challach" and named after a mountain peak in Wester Ross) evolved as a ceilidh band from meeting and playing at sessions, ceilidhs and festivals over a number of years. Bob Dewars, Bob Reid and Bill Tosh are ex-members of of the Foundry Bar Band, and from the Strathmore Ceilidh Band came Billy Hayes and Jake Donnellly (Jake was later with The
Benachally Ceilidh Band), Sandy Harvey from Falkirk won the open fiddle competition at Newcastleton in 1985 and 1986, and Jock Hunter has played with several bands including the
Edinburgh Ceilidh Folk."
Any more information about the group would be gratefully received:
email me. Some of the band's recorded output is detailed below.
