Auld Reekie String Band

Auld Reekie formed out of shared community in the Edinburgh folk scene. They came together in 2018 in the musician’s corner of the Royal Oak, They discovered They had a shared passion for Oldtime folk music from the Appalachian mountains of the southern U.S. Soon they discovered other mutual influences in punk and metal and a shared vision was born.

Soon they went on to record our first debut E.P, “Black Bottle”, not long before they had the opportunity to tour in Croatia and Italy where they recorded “Live in Zagreb” album on the Amadeo Summer Stage. Then they travelled to Abruzzo and up into the mountains where they played at Valfino Al Canto festival, another highlight of their time making music together.
