The Last Battle are a Scottish Alternative Indie Folk band who formed in Edinburgh in 2009 around the songs of singer/songwriter Scott Longmuir. Their name derives from a C.S Lewis novel. In 2010 they released their debut album ''Heart Of The Land, Soul Of The Sea'' to a wonderful reception from Scottish print and media. They have since received plaudits from sources including The Sunday Herald, The Guardian, The List and The Skinny. == Early history == In early 2009, after the disbandment of their old group, singer/songwriter Scott Longmuir, and bassist Paul Barrett decided to take a D.I.Y approach to making music, and began recording in Barrett's small one bedroom flat, utilising his bathroom, hallway and living room as live space, and asking people who could play traditional instruments such as Cello, Glockenspiel and Ukelele, to play on the recordings. Following the rise in popularity of similar Scottish Alternative Folk artists such as Frightened Rabbit, they began sending demo's out to independent record labels. Upon receiving A & R interest, the pair decided to put a band together to play the songs live. Barrett asked partner Flora MacKay - who had played on the initial demo's - to join them on Cello full-time, whilst Longmuir brought in his partner Ella Duncan on Glockenspiel, her sister Arwen on Backing Vocals and close friend Daniel Barnett on Acoustic Guitar. Later, an old high school friend - Liam O'Hare - was asked to join on Percussion. Their name came about by accident when Longmuir asked Barrett what he was reading at the time, and Barrett replied "The Last Battle", a high fantasy novel for children by C.S Lewis. They made their live debut on 4 October 2009 for Oxjam in Edinburgh, however the performance was completely unplugged. Their first real live show in a gig venue was on 14 November at (The Wee Red Bar ) at the Edinburgh College Of Art, supporting Fife based Singer/Songwriter Panda Su. They finished 2009 being tipped by The Scotsman online as 'Ones To Watch for 2010', and in the new year began recording their debut album. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Last Battle (band)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
