First of all, thanks for all the Christmas and New Year wishes to me and the team.

They are very much appreciated by all of us. December was hectic, as we had to get the January issue out the door much earlier than other issues. This means that there may be a few repeats of content in this issue, i.e. content that just came out Pia Walker, Editor wrong or was omitted.

Another year has passed and the end of the club season is getting nearer, hopefully bringing better weather. This editorial was written in January, during the haggis-eating season, and many musicians were jetting off to foreign lands to toast the Bard and play for dancing. Enjoy!

But we have a lot to look forward to before the summer. In March we have our very own festival in a new venue. We are very hopeful that this is going to be a great year. I look forward to touching base with many of you there. You will find more information inside this magazine. Come and visit and perhaps join in? The club band competition is just for you, so get a few people together from your club and get this competition swinging. You can do it!

In March we will also start looking towards the AGM in June, so start thinking of whom you would like to see as an ‘… of the year’ nominee. Your vote counts! The AGM will this year be held in Dundee. We are right now planning interviews with the Guests of Honour, so plenty reading matter from now on. Then there’s the annual golf competition looming – more of that later as well. This is a good day oot for golfers and non-golfers.

Musicians – apart from signing up to the festival competitions, remember to check your guest artist entries. You can get on the online list via the website. The hard copy list will be printed in July but I will also be sending an e-mail out later in the year.

Enjoy this February issue and also spread the word: I’m sure many more would like to read the magazine. So tell your friends.

Andy McCormack BEM

By John Matheson

Andy McCormack (84), born and bred in Dufftown, has been awarded the British Empire Medal in the New Year Honours list for his contribution to music in the North-east of Scotland.

Andy learned to play at about the age of six on a fiddle that his mother picked up and has been playing ever since. He went to Elgin for tuition from Kim Murray. He says that it is his lifetime hobby, and that music is very special to him.

Andy has been for many years, and still is, a member of the Elgin Strathspey and Reel Society, and is very much involved in the organising of the annual Fiddle Festival.

He is a member of the Forres Accordion & Fiddle Club where he goes out with a group of club players to charity events around the area.

He also takes great pride in organising the Dufftown Fiddlers’ Rally held each year. Andy has raised thousands of pounds for local charities by running successful variety shows in his beloved Dufftown.

There is so much we could say about Andy McCormack and his music. This award is very well deserved, and we congratulate him on receiving it.

Well done, Andy!

PART FIVE

By Denis Shepherd

L

ast time I told you how myself and pianist Harry Williamson launched ourselves as the new Denis and the Menace act, which is still going strong – well, still going – today. Call it “the act you can’t classify.” Having started as exponents of songs in the style of Willie Kemp and Rab the Rhymer, we have now expanded our repertoire – and we still do the odd poem together.

In our earlier years we were often asked by Arthur Middleton, the world-class harmonica player, to support him at his concerts. After he passed away, we asked the late Betty Burnett, another top moothie player, to complete the party, and since then we have often enrolled a fiddler or a woman singer to support us. Our first fiddler was Nicola Auchnie, who went on to be Glenfiddich champion – little did Nicola realise she would one day be singing the Strathdon Bus Song with us! The first time Nicola did a spot with us at Aberdeen Folk Club, the three of us arrived early at the Blue Lamp. However, the planned rehearsal did not come off – instead, the pedals of the piano came off and Harry spent the time putting it all together again! However, Nicola provided a welcome opportunity for me to sing the Richard Thompson song, Nobody’s Wedding, in which the singing parts are interspersed with

instrumental renditions of Highland Whisky and Marie’s Wedding.

With Harry being much in demand as an accompanist, there have been occasions when I have had to recruit a stand-in Menace. Two of these have gone on to greater albeit contrasting things: Gordon Midler has played keyboard in Take the Floor recordings while Moray Barber now appears regularly in HMT as one of the Flying Pigs, where the songs he performs in his spots as ‘Hilton John’ bear little resemblance to those performed with me!

For a time, the act had an additional ‘menace’ Harry’s keyboard. We were due in Ythanbank to record our tracks for the Aberdeen TMSA cassette, Fae Aiberdeen’N Roon Aboot, one Saturday, but on the Friday Harry discovered two notes were not functioning. I therefore asked another keyboard player to have his instrument on stand-by. At midnight Harry phoned to say he had fixed the problem, so I cancelled the stand-by – only to be told shortly before we left that there were now three notes out of commission!

This time I asked whistle player Alex Green if we could borrow his ceilidh band instrument and off we set with the two keyboards. Dick Trickey, who was producing the tape, examined Alex’s machine but

f dancers ever get close enough to the Band of Musick - particularly to those members charged with harmony and rhythm kindly described by Muriel Johnstone as `the Engine Room’ of the band - for a closer look at the well-worn and dog-eared copies on the music stands, they’re likely to encounter a range of scrawled hieroglyphs offering clear evidence that `tadpoles on telegraph wires’ are indeed only part of the fabric of sound as it leaves the speakers, perhaps not even half of the story!

Disregarding the coffee-stains and Tipp-ex there will certainly be chord notations for the pianist or bass player – please don’t start me on the `above or below the line of music/bass note or chord first’ controversy – and probably luridly highlighted reminders intended to save the pianist from running out of fingers, or bowing marks for the fiddlers. The interested onlooker might perchance find a further scattering of wee extras in the cause of `light and shade’ such as `B part p first then < f into the Baravan.’ This is to say nothing of the crossings-out and modifications, undreamed of by the composer, to bridge the harmonic gaps between tunes, or indeed minor variations upon the composer’s intentions, all in the cause of an easier life for the pianist in a knuckle-twisting fiddle tune. (Try to play the reel Hon. Mrs. Campbell (of Lochnell), otherwise known as The Fiddler’s Revenge on box or piano, at full chat and without a fly tweak here and there!)

Likewise, ask a fiddler for a busy reel tune in four flats and he or she is likely to mutter darkly about stringcrossings, transpositions and people who write at the piano…

Squeezed in below all the other graffiti there may even be something like this: a – g - f# - f - e which suggests the presence of a `bass run’ which will hopefully agree with what is going on upstairs, and may be used as an alternative. This may well reveal a hidden counter-melody all its own, opening up a window into the notes which underpin the melody and lay down a steady rhythm for the dancers, just as in a previous avatar of accompanying challenging anthems and service-settings in churches and cathedrals the presence of a goodly company of bass choristers was always more than welcome. For instance, I have never seen a full score of The Breakdown, the original tune for the reel Falls of Rogie, but whilst playing the accompanying harmony it becomes clear that whilst fiddlers and first box are enjoying themselves with the tune…

There is scope in bars 21-24 or 29-32 for the ‘Engine Room’ to run the bass line down the scale of A major like this: a

ALNWICK Another fantastic night of good company and musical entertainment was enjoyed by a capacity crowd, all in good spirit.

The local players were Di Jevons, Susan Clark and Ian Woods on fiddle, Jimmy Little on mouth organ and Martin Dunn who played flute and piccolo.

Ann Brown, Sylvia Youngson, Elizabeth Younger, Rita Wade, Robin Cowens, Leonard Brown, Ronnie Patterson and myself played accordion. As always huge thanks to these players for their continued support.

The guest artists were The Iain MacPhail 6-piece Scottish Dance Band with Iain on lead accordion, Brian Griffin on 2nd box, Judith Smith on fiddle, Isobelle Hodgson on piano, George Darling on drums and Alasdair MacLeod on double bass. They were as always a very well-rehearsed, polished band with a thoroughly enjoyable programme of music played with great style. The Lemonville Jig, The March Hare, Scots Wha Hae, The Bluebell Polka and Joe Foster’s Jig were just a small selection of tunes played together with a great set of festive carols to complete a superb night.

Many thanks to everyone involved, players and audience alike.

Mungo Riddell ANNAN The December meeting took place on 15th in the form of a buffet dance. Jack Murdoch welcomed everyone and introduced Brian Griffin who was to provide the entertainment.

Brian, a well-known accordionist, is no stranger to Annan. He was in fact with us last month playing 2nd box in the Iain MacPhail Dance Band. Brian soon had the dancers on the floor with a Saunter Together to the tunes of Dirty Old Town and Winter Wonderland. He kept the audience going with a variety of dances, including a Lowland Waltz, an Edinburgh Mixture and a White Heather Foxtrot.

There was a break while the company enjoyed a lovely buffet. The normal raffle was drawn followed by a special raffle for a Christmas hamper.

Brian was then back to continue the dance music. This included a Viennese Waltz and a Quickstep. These were followed by a Pride of Erin Waltz with John Watret on vocals. The lovely waltz Marie was played

to Christmas carols. Amongst the last of the dances were a Jazz Twinkle, Alpine Stroll, Barn Dance Rock and a White City Waltz.

Jack asked the audience to show their appreciation of Brian and hoped it would not be long before he returned. He thanked those responsible for the lovely buffet which everyone enjoyed, and everyone who brought prizes and bought tickets. He wished everyone compliments of the season and looked forward to seeing a good turnout in the coming month.

ARBROATH Our first meeting of 2019 took place in the usual venue of Arbroath Artisan Golf Club and despite the inclement weather, it was very well attended. The evening was MCed by club vice chairman Avril Abbott who after the traditional New Year formalities got the evening off to a fine start by introducing a series of excellent contributions from a large number of club players.

On fiddle we had Dave Smith, George Watt, Gordon Legge and Tommy Truesdale.

On accordion we had Cora Wilson, Bert Cull, Arthur Wood, Dave Fairbairn, Mac Kinnear,

In Memory Ian Anderson Luncarty, Perthshire Accordionist, Music Tutor 1939 – 2018

I

an Anderson was one of the UK’s foremost accordionists. His command of the instrument and his hugely varied taste in music meant that he enjoyed a career which spanned over 60 years.

Ian was playing gigs until 2018, and his renowned accuracy, good tempos and jaunty style were still to the fore after all this time. He had a life long affinity with French musette and continental music; he loved everything about the accordion, but these genres were where his real passion lay.

Born in 1939 in the village of Birnam by Dunkeld, he attended the Royal School of Dunkeld, and went on to serve his apprenticeship as an upholsterer and carpet fitter with J.D. Cameron and then Thomas Love & Sons of Perth.

Music was always Ian’s first love, and he took very little persuasion to turn professional when the opportunity presented itself. He was taught music by the famous Perth impresario Bill Wilkie from the age of 12, and he himself began teaching when he turned 17. Ian taught at the Wilkie School of Music for 62 years, which brought him into contact with literally hundreds of students including Peter Bruce (Scone), Robert Black (Stanley) and Simon Howie (Dunning). His knowledge of music theory and the structure behind the tunes were always elements that Ian drove home to his pupils. It wasn’t enough simply to turn up and recite the tunes; he required the instrument to be played properly, and the music to be respected in every way. He was not a man who would sit quietly in a music lesson. Pupils knew exactly what he thought of their efforts, good or bad, and it was often commented upon how such a jovial and mild-mannered man could be as animated as he was when standards were lowered.

Ian met Johanna in 1968, when she was one

He had a life long affinity with French musette and continental music; he loved everything about the accordion

”

of his accordion pupils, and they married in 1970.

Children soon followed, and Iain, Calum, Joanne and Gemma were the lights of his life, along with his 5 grandchildren. Johanna smiles when she recalls that her efforts on the accordion were rewarded by the news that Ian had swapped her instrument for a sewing machine. Maybe he knew the recipe for a perfect marriage as they were married for 48 happy years!

After a two-year stint in national service from 1959, he began playing in various local dance bands around Perthshire. He formed his first trio with local musicians Joan Blue and Billy Colburn, which proved to be a big success. This led to decades of gigs, with a range of local musicians, in dance halls, clubs, hotel ballrooms and recording studios. Ian

Margaret Robertson Shetland fiddler and teacher who can be seen leading her ‘troops’ every year at the Edinburgh Tattoo. This year she was also inducted into the Trad Music Hall of Fame.

When was the first time you performed in public?

1974 at Mid Yell Junior High School’s summer concert scraping my way through Boannie Tammy!

What do you appreciate most in life?

Family and the health to enjoy them.

What is your most cherished childhood memory?

Sneaking a Sunday morning cuddle in bed with my mam as a peerie lass!

Who was a big influence in your life and/or your music?

My late father Lell Robertson had an enthusiasm for playing, listening and analysing music.

What was your first job?

A Saturday job working in a local grocery shop and playing in a local dance band.

What is your greatest indulgence?

Music! It’s an expensive business with instruments in need of regular repair and a steady flow of new CDs and books.

What is your abiding musical memory?

Driving for what felt like for ever (to a 10 year old) with my parents to see the Iain MacPhail Band in the Burravoe Hall in Yell.

The drive took probably only about 20 minutes. The full band, seen in the tartan jackets with black velour lapels, were like superstars!

What are your worst fears?

Any disability which would stop me playing.

What are the best places in the world you have visited?

Disney in Orlando when the children were still young enough to be fascinated by the characters and old enough to risk some of the more daring rides!

What is your favourite musical venue?

Anywhere that welcomes an informal session. It’s more about the opportunity to play than the venue.

How would you like to be remembered?

As somebody who was committed to anything she tried.

What makes you angry, annoyed or short tempered?

Selfishness and rumor mongering! Life would be easier if everyone could be a little more flexible. Inconsiderate gossip can be so hurtful and damaging.

If your house was on fire what item would you save?

I would have to grab the fiddle, but I fear the piano would perish!

Who are your heroes and why?

Anyone in the emergency services, many of whom have to face the unthinkable on occasion.

The Scottish dance music scene - your thoughts and hopes?

I hope it can find support so musicians have dancers and audiences to listen to them. With some of the basic dances we all learned getting squeezed off of dance lists, it might be nice to see them re-appear to encourage especially the young or less experienced dancers.

What 5 people would you invite to your dream dinner party?

Nelson Riddle, Ella Fitzgerald, Paul McCartney, Pam Wilkie and Jim Halcrow.

What is your favourite location in Scotland?

The freedom and tranquillity of the Eshaness scenery on the Shetland Mainland.

Your 1, 2, 3 of favourite tunes/ songs?

Arthur Scott Robertson – a hornpipe by Arthur Scott Robertson.

The Cape Breton Symphonies Welcome to Shetland – the reel

by Willie Hunter Afton på Solvik – a Scandinavian waltz.

If you had to leave, what would you miss and what would you be glad to see the back of?

I would miss the Shetland peacefulness and the family I have living there, but would be happy to see the back of travelling by planes and boats.

Reviews When Barley Reaches Shore Alastair Savage Woodland records SAV005CD

When Barley Reaches Shore is Alastair Savage’s fifth solo album. It continues his output of classic Scots fiddle repertoire

by Niel Gow and James Scott Skinner included on his previous release Alone with History in 2016, whilst at the same time adding the music of Willliam Marshall, another great fiddle composer of the 18th century, to the collection. Following the purely unaccompanied fiddle sound of his last recording, this album adds to his work with Euan Drysdale on guitar and piano alongside Iain Crawford on double bass, the trio having performed together on Alastair’s previous three albums.

The trio represent a wide range of performing styles characterised by their individual

backgrounds. Alastair is originally from Ardrossan in Ayrshire and has performed traditional and classical music throughout his life. Both Alastair and bassist Iain Crawford, who is originally from Kirkcaldy, are members of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. Euan Drysdale is originally from Bathgate and his accompaniment work has been influential on many of Alastair’s recordings.

Tracks include Skinner’s beautifully haunting airs Hector the Hero and the Music O’ Spey alongside many of Gow’s famous tunes celebrating the composer’s Perthshire roots such as Highland Whisky, the Marquis of Tullibardine and Dunkeld Hermitage. Marshall’s Chapel Keithack is one of Scottish fiddle history’s most famous melodies and forms the centre piece of the Marshall tribute. As well as the music of the great 18th and 19th century fiddle composers, Alastair includes many of his own compositions. On this album the Islay Wedding Music part one features melodies commissioned by friends for a wedding on Islay in 2013, while part two includes tunes written

by Alastair for his own wedding in 2016 on the same island.

His other composition is The Soldiers Prayer which is a deeply poignant dedication to the British soldiers lost recently in conflicts overseas. The album represents

Alastair’s first recording project alongside engineer David Gray at the Sound Café near Penicuik, Midlothian. The album was recorded over a three-year period starting in 2015 and David has expertly captured the individual moments of inspiration from the trio. His experience of recording many different genres of music is of great value in highlighting the contrasting styles of the tracks on the album. This is quite simply a wonderful recording which I would highly recommend.
