History (1998 -2008):

The Canongate Cadjers performed for the first time as a 3 piece in 1998 at the Village Hall, Blair Atholl. The band consisted of Alex Ross on Accordion, Stuart Munro on Drums and Iain King on Fiddle.

In the past 10 years they have played all over the UK at Dances, Weddings, Festivals and recent overseas trips have included visits to France, Oman, Germany, Tunisia and Corsica.

Due to the versatility of the band, they have been able to cross-over into the Folk/Celtic scene and are increasingly busy in the Traditional Festival circuit with Ceiildh Culture and T in the Park both regular diary gigs.

The present day line up is founder member Alex joined on drums by his nephew Kenneth Ross, Kat Henry on Fiddle and Marina Sharp as Caller. Now firmly established as one of Scotland's best live Ceilidh bands the future looks increasingly busy for the Cadjers.
