Calasaig are a five-piece Scottish band, playing traditional music and song from Scotland, Ireland and England as well as their own compositions. They are Keith Easdale, Keith Johnston, Kirsten Easdale, Andy Webster, Celine Donoghue and John Weatherby.

The group bring together songs of near and far * songs of love of the homeland far away, and songs of the good things in life. A mix of Scottish and Irish music and song, with traditional touches and contemporary kinks. Bright, breezy, and very Celtic.
