Eyes on Orkney

Travellers

O

rkney Strathspey & Reel Society was established in the 30’s - 40’s and was a popular meeting place for local musicians. In probably 1977 a splinter group of players broke away to form what became Orkney Accordion & Fiddle Club.

To this day there are a few really keen players who go to both groups.

Recently I have been given a photo taken on the club’s first Open Night back in 1980 showing the majority of these early members. Though many are no longer with us, there are still a number deeply involved in the local music scene in one way or another. Among today’s next generation players there are many of the same surnames appearing. Add to this mix Craigie, Burgher, Liddle, Marwick, Brass, and Baikie and you have a good cross section of local names appearing in the present day line up.

Our club sessions usually attract 12 - 15 players coming in for a tune or a chat. Though the accordion used to be dominant, today sees almost an even split with fiddle players. Throw in keyboard, flute, guitar and occasionally bodhran you have a blend enjoyed by the many visitors popping along to our weekly sessions. Unlike many clubs, our players always play together as one group, rather than splitting up into bands. In this way even the most nervous and inexperienced player can join in and find their feet without any pressure. l Bert Baikie Bert sent me this information about the Orkney music scene. If you would like to send me something about your club in the same style, I’ll be happy to include it. 250 words at the most, please.

Celebrations

We had a special birthday celebration at our February club meeting.

Jack Delaney, who faithfully each month arrives to set up and adjust the sound system and then has a tune or two, reached the great age of 80, although he doesn’t look it! We had a cake for him and the band played Happy Birthday. Well done Jack and many happy returns.

Jim & Doreen Halcrow The Lerwick Old Time Dance Club recently honoured Jim Halcrow. Jim has been playing dance music for the club for over 60 years, and the club decided to acknowledge this record with the presentation of a piece of commemorative Shetland glass at a dance in the Islesburgh Community Centre in Lerwick

on Saturday 7th February.

Jim and his wife, Doreen, were made Honorary Life Members of the club on the same evening. The club has only done that twice before.

Jim and Doreen is here seen with David Anderson, Vice President of the club, who made the presentation.

THE

Brandonee McPh

SHOW

Eden Court Theatre Inverness, on Saturday 28th February 2015, as experienced

by Ben Macdonald and “Mrs Mac”, former presenters with Moray Firth Radio.

“

E

xperience” is the only word for it, as I’m sure the packed audience would agree. This was more than just “a good show”. We had been chatting with Robert Cameron of Pan Records a few days earlier and when he promised “fireworks on the night” assumed he meant on-stage pyrotechnics.

With hindsight, he did have a glint in his eye as he added: “I think you’ll be surprised.”

Perhaps the clues were there from the start. A full hour before the show the foyer, restaurant and refreshment areas were bustling and there was a buzz of anticipation in the air. During his relatively short transition from young lad to become the 2014 All Scotland Senior Traditional Accordion Champion, Brandon has gained a strong following. No surprise to us that the theatre was busy, this time with his own 3-hour show. Has any eighteen year-old performer sold out the Empire Theatre? The enormity of the occasion began to resonate with us.

The house lights dimmed right on time. First on stage Scotland’s Son of Fun, Eddie Rose, had the task of warming the audience. Eddie (pardon the pun) rose to the task with his individual style of “Variety Show” humour.

Five minutes into the show Eddie invited the audience to welcome the Brandon McPhee Band.

Brandon was straight into a couple of lively sets as he walked around front of stage while the band sat behind him. The band comprised Brandon’s usual line-up, Alastair MacDonald on second box, Manson Grant on piano/bass and Robert Cameron on drums.

Brandon’s band has developed an unmistakeable sound which sets them apart.

The initial impact of Brandon’s performance in this show came as a surprise to us both. We should have been prepared, since each time we hear him Brandon plays even better than the previous occasion. It was evident from the start that yet again he has significantly raised his game.

Brandon explained that he could never have imagined that he would be fronting his own show in Eden Court. Characteristically, he credited his audience for enabling it to happen. As the first half progressed, we lapped up a full and varied programme of great sets, delivered as a highly polished performance. By the interval, the place was buzzing. We lost count of the number of times we heard “What a talent!” Even in the gent’s loo! (More

Clearly Brandon’s approach to singing is as dedicated as to his button-box

about this later.)

As the curtain rose on the second half, gobsmacking started again in earnest. On stage, The Brandon McPhee Country Band: Robert Cameron on drums, Manson Grant on keyboard, Keith McLeod on lead guitar, Ireland’s Crawford Bell on acoustic guitar and Davie Holland on steel guitar.

What a line-up! Some of the most experienced country musicians around. Then on stage walked an immaculately suited cool young man, mic in hand, ready to demonstrate another side of his talent. Brandon began by delivering a powerful solo performance of a set of around ten country songs.

The audience, even the ardent Scottish music fans, quickly warmed to Brandon McPhee, Country Singer. Clearly Brandon’s approach to singing is as dedicated as to his button-box. Only the best will do.

Having completed his Country vocal set Brandon made way for more laughter from Eddie Rose, then returned resplendent in his kilt, Shand Morino in place ready to lead the band again. He thrilled the audience with a rendition of the competition set which won him the Championship last year.

Bandon’s delivery became almost hypnotic as we were treated to live TV close-up images of Brandon’s hands dancing over the buttons of his box.

This is probably an appropriate point to mention, and congratulate, Pan Records for their presentation

”

and production of this show. In particular, the use of the live camera, but also the projected images associated with some of the tunes, scenery and, of course both the late Sir Jimmy Shand (Memories of Willie Snaith) and Will Starr (Jacqueline Waltz).

There were fireworks, although we think most of the sparks came from Brandon’s fingers! Eden Court’s Empire Theatre team also deserve credit for the stage management and technical support provided.

It might not be obvious to the audience, but then, I don’t suppose it should! Great job folks!

The night ended with all the artists on stage for a finale. Well it would have ended had we not demanded an encore. Brandon McPhee and his two bands earned and fully deserved the two standing ovations at the end of a great show after which Brandon McPhee was in the foyer shaking hands and thanking his fans for their support. Tomorrow?

Our guess is he will be practising again.

Oh yes, back to the gents loo! (Mrs Mac, you are excused.) Usually, gents meeting in the loo will politely nod, space themselves out and quietly gaze at the wall. However, on exceptional occasions, e.g. when we have been inspired and excited by a great show, we become more talkative. This is a good time for observers, correction, discerning listeners, to get a straw poll of opinions. The psychology is simple. Each gent will have a different angle on things and each will be very keen to maintain their stance. This, of course, impacts on discussion as matters of opinion are expressed and defended.

During many comments of sheer wonder at the talent of Brandon McPhee I overheard the question: “How come, when he can fill this theatre and send us home delighted, we do not hear Brandon and his band on the Beeb?”

I was off to find Mrs Mac and shake Brandon’s hand. l

Club News Just remember to seek permission to publish the photos and tell us the name of the photographers.

To ensure a more readable section, please only send in max 250-300 words.

A photo tells a better story, so add one or two of those too. Why not of your audience? If you don’t have a report to write, then mention someone from your club or a special event and send in a relevant photo. Information in Club News helps attract visitors to your club, so make sure your club sounds like the place we want to go to.

ABERDEEN Scott Gordon welcomed everybody and introduced the first players for the evening, Frank Burnett (accordion) accompanied by Stanley Flett (keyboard) and Scott on drums. Next was Keith Duncan (accordion) with Esma Shepherd on keyboard. A welcome visitor was Lesley Edmond from Inverurie. Lesley plays fiddle and double bass, but finds the fiddle easier to transport. She included the slow air Coleburn. You are welcome back any time, Lesley. Another visitor to the club was Hamish MacDougall from Muir of Ord (melodeon) accompanied

by Matthew Maclennan on keyboard. Fine to have the old melodeon played in a nice relaxed style.

The guests were the Craig McFadyen Band with Craig on lead box, Matthew Maclennan on second accordion and Neil MacGregor on drums. Craig is originally from the West Coast, but is now staying in the bonnie wee toun of Banchory. They played mostly West Coast style, with Matthew filling in all the chords and bass. Good lively stuff.

Matthew, Craig and Neil, Aberdeen

After teatime, we had the husband-and-wife duo Charlie and Florence Lawie with Esma on keyboard. They always play some very nice arrangements with Florence playing the complementary harmonies. Denis Shepherd was next on moothie, and then Sandy McAllan on button-box.

One of the tunes he played was the Queen Mary Waltz, a very nice gentle tune. The last group before guest artist time was Lynn Christie (accordion), Susan Gordon (fiddle) and Esma and Scott backing.

After the raffle it was the guests again with some fine music to end a night of good music.

ANNAN ST ANDREW There was a capacity attendance at the February

meeting. The guest band for the evening was the Charlie Kirkpatrick Scottish Dance Band, comprising Charlie Kirkpatrick on 3-row buttonkey accordion, Derek Hamilton on keyboard and Gordon Young on drums. Charlie was born and brought up on the beautiful island of Iona and began playing the accordion at an early age. He and the band have featured on BBC Radio Scotland’s Take the Floor on numerous occasions and in 2012 he was presented with the National Association of Accordion & Fiddle Clubs Annual Award.

They commenced the evening by playing for various dances.

Local players, accompanied

by Ian Wilson on keyboard and Billy Porter on drums were: Jim Fraser from Dumfries on piano accordion, Newbie Park from

B&F • CLUB NEWS

Carlisle next playing a quickstep on piano accordion. Les Hurst, Carlisle, played a Boston Two Step on piano accordion.

Brian Maxwell, Gretna, played two sets of music on a 3-row button-key accordion.

Robin and Deryn Waitt from Claygate was next with Robin playing a 3-row button-key accordion and Deryn on piano accordion. Norman Swainson, Wigton on piano accordion.

Barbara Fisher, Springholm, played piano accordion. John Waugh, Carlisle, played a Jazz Twinkle on piano accordion, Roger Dobson, Langholm, a Gay Gordon Two Step on his Shand Morino 3-row button-key accordion.

The guest band then returned and we concluded the evening with further dancing. MC Jack Murdoch thanked the band and each and every one of the local players.

ARBROATH A very large audience was welcomed by our Chairman, Tony Simpson, who intimated that the AGM due to take place this evening had to be postponed due to unforeseen circumstances, but hopefully will take place at our April meeting. The scheduled guest artiste, Marian Anderson, was regrettably not able to come to Arbroath, however, David Oswald stood in as the guest artiste.

Without further ado the local players were on the floor and treated us to some lovely sets and good music. On accordions respectively were, Margaret Patullo, Cora Nicol, Alan Petrie,

David Oswald Stramash

Eric Davidson, John White and Arthur Wood. Dave Smith played fiddle, Ron Ramsay gave the audience a selection on electric pipes with John White accompanying all the players on piano.

The David Oswald Trio did not disappoint. They had a rousing start with a Shetland reel and immediately had the audience in the palm of their hands. They performed superb sets throughout both halves of the evening expertly delivered

by David on lead accordion, Alasdair Macleod on 2nd box and Andrew Barrie on drums.

The evening was brought to a close with a super stramash which made for a very happy audience.

Our next meeting takes place on 5th April when our AGM will take place followed by the Neil Hardie Scottish Dance Band.

EA BANFF The first club night of the year was held on 25th of February as the January meeting was cancelled due to the threat of bad weather. We had a smaller than usual attendance, but a superb night of music much appreciated by all.

Andy welcomed all. Graham

Wilson and Andy kicked off with various tempos and an abundance of Scottish and Irish music. Unaccompanied Graham then played a wide variation of music making use of the V3 Desktop to provide the backing.

He was followed by Andy ably backed by Diane Morrice of the guest duo.

The guest band, Dave and Diane Morrice, then played a rousing set to start with and followed on with music not often played at clubs, but very entertaining indeed. They played until break time during which they had a well earned rest.

Andy started off the second half accompanied by Dave on keyboard. Graham played a few sets before our guests came back on. Dave hypnotised the crowd with his solid, punchy playing and we reckoned he lost a few pounds in weight.

They played non-stop until the finish. If any club has not had the experience of these guests, you should.

The evening finished off with Dave and Diane being joined on stage by Andy and Graham for the stramash and we certainly found that very enjoyable.

Due to illness and absence of Agnes, the report was compiled

In Memory Sandy Anderson

S

andy Anderson the wellknown Scottish Dance Band Leader for over 50 years and ex Central Farmers sales representative for over 35 years, sadly passed away on 7th February 2015.

Sandy came from a very musical family and started playing his button-key accordion with his younger sister Ena on mouth organ and younger brother Billy on piano accordion. The Anderson Trio, as they were called, was in great demand at East Fife village hall concerts.

Sandy joined the Jack Stalker Band in the early fifties and

formed his own band at the age of 20. He had an incredible ear for music and despite never having had a music lesson he played every reel and jig with notable style and an impeccable timing and tempo much appreciated during Scottish Country Dances and Hunt and High Society Balls. Sandy was greatly inspired by the late Sir Jimmy Shand who brought him his much loved and faithful, reliable Shand Morino accordion from Germany in 1959. In 1969 Dave Barrie, pianist and Tom Gatherum, drummer, joined

Sandy’s band and they played as a trio for over 30 years forging a great relationship.

His work made him well known in the farming community in Fife, Tayside, Lothians & Borders. Indeed Sandy played at countless farming family celebrations from 21st parties to weddings, Silver andGolden weddings, along with 80th and 90th birthdays.

Sandy’s personality, his affectionate smile and infectious laughter will be missed by many, none more so than by his wife Nancy, his daughter Joyce, and grandson Stuart. l

Margaret Smith 21st July 1936 – 23rd January 2015 It was with great sadness that we heard of Margaret’s passing. Margaret along with husband George and Gibby Lang founded The Newtongrange Club in October 1977. Many of today’s musicians will have been encouraged by Margaret, both in playing at the club and taking part in the competitions.

Over the 35 years of their leadership they built it into a very successful club. Among the special events they organised were parties for the 10th and 21st anniversaries, attended by many wellrespected names including Joan and Jimmy Blue, Norrie and Sheila Williams, Ken Mutch and Robbie Shepherd to name a few. They also held a ‘This is Your Life’ for Jim Johnstone, inviting a host of great musicians to appear.

Margaret and George were very keen dancers and held regular supper dances. Being great friends with the great band leader Jim Johnstone they set up dance classes with Jim providing

the music. When Robbie Shepherd wrote his book ‘Let’s Have a Ceilidh’, Margaret was one of the two ladies, who assisted with the dance instructions.

Margaret and George were also regular visitors to Mull, and became great friends with Bobby MacLeod over the years, spending many happy hours in the Mishnish enjoying music, craic and no doubt a few drams.

Apart from music and dancing Margaret loved floral art, which she taught and judged at flower shows. As in all things she did, she was a total perfectionist.

Due to ill health both spent some time in hospital until George passed away in October 2012. Margaret then moved to a nursing home in Wallyford, which allowed her to resume regular attendance at the club she had helped to establish.

On the Radio Broadcast reviews by Ian Simpson.

This month, I’d like to tell you about two very popular ceilidh shows on community stations in Aberdeenshire.

Every Monday evening from 7-10pm on Waves Radio, you can hear Ceilidh with Suzie D. Waves is a popular community station broadcasting from Peterhead. Each week Suzie is inundated with requests and seems to have a huge array of Scottish music and song at her fingertips. As an Aberdeenshire loon, I feel at home listening to this. I’m sure Suzy would love to have new online listeners. If you enter the competition, be warned that you have to collect your prize! Log in to www.wavesfm.com to hear the show.

A few miles away in Kintore is North East Community Radio, (NECR), who have a ceilidh every single evening from 6-7pm. The Ceilidh Hour is presented in Doric and has a loyal audience, as I hear the same names mentioned years after I first started listening. The station’s schedule has been the same for a long time, but why change it? If you’re a Country music fan, there’s The Country Jamboree from 7-10pm.

Listen in at www.necrfm.co.uk If you’re a recording artist, why not send these stations copies of your work? They’re an excellent platform for potential worldwide exposure.

Keep up the good work guys! l
