McCalmansThe original line-up of Ian McCalman, Hamish Bayne and Derek Moffat first met during registration for entry into Edinburgh College of Art on 6th October, 1964. Discovering their mutual interest in folk music they went on to form the band which over forty years has become almost a Scottish institution. The McCalmans have travelled the world enthusing their audiences with rousing three-part harmony singing laced with on-stage self-deprecating humour. In 1982, Hamish retired to the quieter life, making concertinas and Nick Keir joined the group. Derek Moffat passed away on October 21, 2001, at the age of 54, and Stephen Quigg (who stood in for him during his illness) officially joined the line-up. The picture is of the current lineup with Ian (left) Nick (centre) and Stephen (right). | Contact details:
