Who's Who in Scottish Music - V

Last updated: 31st December 2004

Valkyries, The Hazel Reid (12-string guitar, vocals, piano) and Charlie "Chic" Batchelor (guitar, harmonica) were performing as The Valkyries from 1968 till about 1972, singing traditional Scots songs in Angus, Fife, Perthshire and Edinburgh. They were influenced by The McCalmans. In 1973 Chic was playing in a duo called Top Flight with Dave Davidson, and when Jan Caldon joined they became Dingly Dell. Dingly Dell recorded a couple of tracks of the 1977 Dundee Folk charity LP.
