Champion Doug Veitch was born in Hawick in The Scottish Borders, the self-styled 'King of Caledonian Swing' rose to some prominence in the mid 1980s.[ A favourite of John Peel, for whom he recorded two radio sessions, he holds the record for having most (six) consecutive NME singles of the week. His music was a ground-breaking polycultural mix, using elements from dub, reggae, country music and Scottish folk music, which foretold the cross cultural mixing more common in later years.

In 1985, he co-founded the label DiscAfrique with his colleague Owen Elias, which was one of the first world music labels in the United Kingdom, releasing records by The Bhundu Boys, Orchestre Baobab and The Four Brothers amongst others. Doug was the first promoter to bring an African Band to the UK when the Bhundu Boys arrived in 1985 He and the Late Charlie Guilet BBC London coined the phase "World Music"

In 1989, he released an album of Scottish country dance music with his wife under the moniker Martin, Doug and Sara.

Doug recently reunited with Bhundu Boys guitarist Rise Kagona under the name Culture Clash. Unusually Veitch sings the songs in Shona rather than his native tongue. The duo released the album Tanzwa Neku Tambura: We've Suffered Enough in 2007 He has more recently become a window cleaner (that’s show business)
