The Pictish Players

The Scottish Country Dance and Jazz Band 

The Pictish Players are a geographically disparate group of friends, who get together for special occasions to produce their much sought after sound. They have been providing music for highland balls, private dances and weddings, throughout the UK, for 35 years. Now, at last, they have assembled at a "Honky-tonk Château" in the Scottish Highlands for long enough, just, to produce a recording of their unique, unbridled sound.  The Pictish Players - 1998

This is now available as a double CD (total playing time of 1hr 51mins.)and can be ordered from these web pages. 

We are sorry that at present, you are not able to hear the music on the web. We hope that this will soon be rectified.
