Before the fiddle and the strathspey and reel took hold in the late 18th century, the dances and the tunes that a Scottish dance band would play were quite different.
A meeting point for a huge variety of music, both native and from further afield, Concerto Caledonia's dance band steps back in time for a colourful evening of dance music.
