2008 Caledon – ‘Scotland’s
Tenors’ +
Pianist at Clacton & North
East Essex Arts & Literary
Society
Caledon is equally at home whether inspiring
the 55,000 soccer crowd at Hampden Park with a
stirring new version of Flower of Scotland, or
on the stage of the world-famous Sydney Opera
House, singing to a packed auditorium of music
lovers. The group had a sensational first year
which included highlights such as performing in
front of Her Majesty The Queen at the opening
of the Scottish Parliament and for His
Excellency, UN Secretary General Kofi Annan at
the inaugural Robert Burns Memorial Lecture at
the United Nations Headquarters in New York as
well as closing Scotland's largest rock and pop
festival, T - in the Park
 Having recently completed
sell-out tours of North America, Australia
and New Zealand, Scotland 's “three divine
voices” (Edinburgh Evening News) returned
to Scotland to perform a famous concert at
the Edinburgh Festival. Accompanied by the
Scottish Fiddle Orchestra, "On A Beautiful
Scottish Evening" was filmed beneath the
magnificent backdrop of a floodlit
Edinburgh Castle. The recording,
containing Caledon's wonderful
arrangements of great Scottish classics
like Loch Lomond; My Love Is Like A Red,
Red Rose; Will Ye Go Lassie, Go; Highland
Cathedral and Auld Lang Syne, was released
by REL Records on DVD, Video and CD.
The tenors kicked off the Scottish leg of their
2005 tour at a packed Theatre Royal, Glasgow
accompanied by the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra,
and 2005 also saw them return to tour in the
U.S., record a St. Patrick's Day special for
Ulster Television in Ireland, and front an
international showcase in New York for the
Scottish Government during the Tartan Day
celebrations.
2006 saw the group return to the US to
publicise the P.B.S. broadcasting of "On A
Beautiful Scottish Evening" (which was shown on
over 150 channels in North America), accept
invitations to make its debut in Japan and
Malaysia and take up a two month residency in
Berlin at the Tipi-das-Zelt theatre.
"The Power And The Passion": Caledon 's
exciting album of powerfully emotive Scots
Songs, recorded with a full symphony orchestra
and containing such classics as Will Ye No'
Come Back Again; Speed Bonnie Boat and Sailing,
was released in October 2005. The group's
followed this with: Live 'n' Kickin', a live
recording of their Berlin show, which was
released at the end of 2006. 2007 saw Caledon
officially open the first ever Tartan Day in
Toronto.
Despite 2 return visits to Berlin, more
Scottish, US and Canadian Tours and even the
occasional sojourn to sing in the Dominican
Republic, Caledon still managed to record a new
album - "Always To Be Here" - land a kilt
sponsorship deal with Lochcarron of Scotland,
(who have designed the new Caledon Tartan
exclusively for the group) and sign with agent
David Foster (All-Electric Productions) to take
the Live n' Kickin' show on tour in the rest of
the UK - an invasion of England is imminent
