Clann An Drumma
Clann An Drumma (Scots Gaelic for "Children of the Drum") is a band from Glasgow, Scotland. Their music involves heavy use of percussion and bagpipes. The band's motto is "Keep it Tribal". Their line-up has changed over the years and, as of 2023, the band has released seven studio albums. Clann An Drumma was formed by Joe Kilna MacKenzie (died 28 April 2009), Jacquie Holland, Tu-Bardh Stormcrow Wilson and others.
One of their better-known pieces is Sgt. MacKenzie, composed by Joe MacKenzie in memory of his great grandfather, Charles Stuart MacKenzie, who was killed in action during World War I. "Sgt. MacKenzie" is perhaps a departure from their usual style, its drumming and piping subdued and primarily a vocal piece. It was featured in the soundtrack to the films, We Were Soldiers (2002) and End of Watch (2012).
