Mike Rae - bass
Dave Innes - drums
Sandy Tweddle - fiddle
Graham Stephen - guitars, vocals
There may be more. I'm unsure.
This on their website: "Add one of the most renowned rythmn sections in Scotland and you can begin to understand why Shindig are one of the most popular bands in Scotland."
I'm not sure this is very well justified.
I'd just like to point out that the band Shindig existed long before this in Somerset.
The band comprised
Simon Knight RIP Accordeon
Phil Dawson Fiddle, Banjo
Pete Nicholson/Pru Comer Guitar
Brian Owens Flute/Whistles
It would have been about '93 when Simon and I were talking about band names and I mentioned how in Irish half uncial script that Shindig looked such an Irish name.
We played lots of dances, especially at Priddy, Somerset, with the great teachers from Ireland, where there were Set Dance Festivals organised by Simon and his, then, wife Val.
The first night of these was an open band, the Saturday with "Show the lady" and the Sunday with "Shindig".
Interestingly I did the sign writing for the band, and am surprised to see such similarity in the present band's signage, given that I painted the original boards some 16 years ago!
Shindig
Shindig are a fairly well known ceilidh band in north-east Scotland. I think this is their only album.

Shindig
Okey-doke! No sign of a band history page on the site, which is a bit annoying. There's so much is left untold.
