Drinker's Drouth

This mainly vocal group were formed in 1974 with Jack Aitken, Dave Black, Tony Dougan and Brian Dougan, with the late Davie Steele joining them in 1981. Steele went on to perform with The Battlefield Band, Clan Alba and Ceolbeg; he died in 2001. The other three still perform as Drinker's Drouth. Any further information would be gratefully received (email me).
