The mountains, the sea, the forests and wild-life of the Aquitaine and of Scotland are akin.

Scotch Mist translates this affinity into music and dance blending in a miscellany of musical talents and integrating it with traditions from horizons oceans apart.
Why this name?
Scotch Mist
"A coarse, dense mist, like fine rain."
Sir W. Scott.

This weather condition is another thing that Scotland and the Aquitaine have in common.
Like Scotch Mist, it gits right in aboot.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
A very welcome revolution that will hopefully lead to the demise of the multi-national hegemony that is destroying the real and true musical and cultural diversity that exists in humanity.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Vive l'autoproduction. (Long live self production)
Band History:
Scotch Mist began life in 1990 as a trio based in Bordeaux. The early days saw the band diffuse its repertoire of Scottish and Irish music all over the South-West of France.
Time passing has seen the group playing in a host of venues that range from the extremely modest to the fairly prestigious, including several festivals both in France and abroad. Over the years various musicians of diverse horizons have come in to lend their talents.

Up till now we have self-produced a live cassette and two mini CD’s, and been released, alongside The Tannahill Weavers, on a compilation C.D. in Italy. We've also taken in short tours of Scotland, Ireland and Portugal.

A new complete album is on it's way.

Hello there- from another continental 'celtic ' band, Poitin. Nice to hear you- have you played in the Irish Pub in Bordeaux? We were there a few years ago. We've got a 'Czech mist' this morning over here in Plzen today. All the best. Jeremy and Poitin
