2021 RRS band tour

We’ve teamed up with Scotland’s best known military band for a nationwide concert tour in 2021.

The Band of the Royal Regiment of Scotland will perform folk music inspired from across Scotland, from Burns Country and the Western Isles, to the Highlands down through the East of Scotland and the Scottish Borders. The tour is a collaboration with renowned folk musician and songwriter Alan Brydon. All proceeds from the concert will raise vital funds to help us provide life-changing support for members of the Armed Forces community across Scotland.

Tour dates & ticket information

Full dates, venues and timings for 2021 are still to be finalised, subject to COVID restrictions. So, watch this space! Alternatively, get in touch with events@poppyscotland.org.uk and we will update you when the tour is back on track. 

Meet 'The Band'

The Band is one of the 22 Regular Army bands and is based at Dreghorn Barracks, Edinburgh. It comprises 45 talented musicians who are also serving soldiers and it is a symphonic wind band with the additional capability of a Ceilidh band.

The main role of the band is to support the Army, the State and Ceremonial occasions that occur within Scotland.
