The McCalmans

The McCalmans

The McCalmans are a folk song trio from Scotland. Formed in 1964, they have continued to record and tour without interruption.

Their performance is based on searing three part harmony, humour and a respect for the tradition of song in Scotland.

They have performed all over Europe, and in the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Bermuda, Kenya, Belize and even the Falkland Islands.

In their native Scotland, they have had six major TV series and countless BBC Network Radio series and appearances.

They have produced some 22 LPs and CDs, not counting re-issues and compilations.

The McCalmans have had five members since their beginning. Ian McCalman (born 1.9.1946, in Edinburgh, Lothian, Scotland), Hamish Bayne (born in Nairobi, Kenya) and Derek Moffat (born near Dundee, Fife, Scotland) were the original members. Hamish left the band and was replaced by Nick Keir. Derek died as a result of cancer in 2001, and was replaced by long-term friend of the band Stephen Quigg.

All three members have separate projects. Ian runs a very successful recording studio, and Stephen and Nick work as a soloists. Nick is also involved in acting and film-making.

The band tour extensively in the UK and in Denmark, Germany and Holland. More information is available on the group's website.
