The Foundry Bar Band:

Foundry Bar Band

Bothy songs and Scottish music have long been a part of life at the Foundry Bar in Arbroath. In 1975 some of the Foundry Bar musicians got together, entered and won the Ceilidh Band competition at the Kinross festival – and so was born 'The Foundry Bar Band'. This, their first album issued as an LP in 1981 - now remastered in CD format has always been a top selling album.
