Concentrating on innovative settings of traditional Scottish music , the earliest band line-up may have been Peter Boond, Barbara Dymock, Dave Carmichael, Dave Whyte and Arthur Gibb.
The Gaelic phrase Ceol Beag (meaning literally 'Small Music') refers to the jigs, reels, and strathspeys of traditional Scottish pipe music. It contrasts with Ceol MĂłr, the 'Big Music' of the pibroch or classical Highland bagpipe repertoire.
The members of the last Ceolbeg line-up were:- Peter Boond, Colin Matheson, Rod Paterson, Wendy Stewart, Mike Travis, Gary West, with over the years, many other musicians moved in and out of the band, including Duncan Black, Dave Carmichael, Aileen Carr, Gordon Duncan, Kenny Hadden, Katie Harrigan, Mike Katz, Ian MacQueen, Stuart Morrison, Davy Steele, Doug Stronach, Andy Thorburn, Jim Walker, Dave Whyte.
After the departure of Rod Paterson and Wendy Stewart from the line-up in September 2001, an anticipated personnel change did not materialise. The four remaining band members decided to split and their "Farewell Fling" took place at the Queen's Hall, Edinburgh on 11th August, 2002.
