Clan An Drumma has morphed inta a band called Albannach. I'm not sure how many of the Alba boys are the Drumma days, though. This particular band would be Clanadonia. I didn't realize they had 2 pipers though! I've not had the pleasure of seeing them live- just heard their music.

I think the elder gentleman in the full beard was a member of Clan An Drumma. I thought he looked familier. I know about Albannach. I've seen them several times. And yes most of their group was from C.A.D. Both groups have a very similar look and I imagine the sound is very similar.

Looks like some of the lineup might be the same:

BTW -- not to go too far off topic -- it looks like the band Clann an Drumma still exists in some form; seems the original band has split into three: Clann an Drumma, Albannach, and Clanandonia.

And this MODERN TRIBAL band has WHAT to do with historical Highland attire? Perhaps this should be moved to the appropriate forum.

I don't know
I suppose the original question could be "are they historically correct?", but the answer should be self evident

Well, that certainly explains a lot! I thought the three sounded a bit alike.

Clanadonia performed at my wedding. They were outstanding!

They'd would, without doubt, be my first choice for a nice romantic first dance on my wedding.

Not mine!

We had a conventional band in the evening until about midnight including for the first waltz, then a DJ. We had Clanadonia for a while during the day, for that potentially boring bit after the service and the piper had finished but before the tables had been set and the grub was ready

. It was a beautiful sunny day (unusual for Scotland!) and they performed outside the venue, just at the main entrance (Loch Lomond Youth Hostel, google pics). Memorable day...
