About Us
Caledonian Castaways are a group of ex-pat Scots drawn from Melbourne’s blues/roots scene. Original material covers amusing and heartwarming stories about their journeys from Scotland to Australia.  Set to ska, rocksteady, funk, blues, country grooves - styles they know well.

The combined writing talents of Steve Boyd and Alex Burns means beautifully crafted original songs.  A great live show is assured with Tommy McEwan on drums, Craig Kelly on Bass and Melbourne Ska Orchestra/Ska Vendors singer Stevie Montgomery and trumpeter Stuart Ferguson fronting the group.  Steel guitar, harmonica and Ken Howden on accordion add warm layers of sound.
