Home Is Where the Van Is, an album by The Battlefield Band, was released in 1980 on the Temple Records label.[2] The album, the band's U.S. debut, "continued the Scottish group's affinity for blending modern instrumentation into the country's folk tradition."[1] Several songs from the album notably featured band member Ged Foley on the Northumbrian smallpipes.[3]
The band played the album in its entirety at the 2009 Celtic Connections, as part of the festival's Classic Albums series.[5] The performance featured the line-up who recorded the album in 1980 (Alan Reid, Brian McNeill, Duncan MacGillivray & Ged Foley), playing together with the line-up of 2009 (Alan Reid, Mike Katz, Alasdair White & Sean O'Donnell).[6][7]
