I noticed they're all playing 'button boxes' and that's the first time I'm seen the great Bobby McLeod playing with the other legend, Jimmy Shandy. West and East coasts together!
A experience and exceptional privilege I had in early 1960 was going to hear the great Jimmy Shand in the Grand Opera House Belfast. A memory that is as fresh today as though it was it was this morning. Will there ever be an accordion to equal the Shand Moroni ? Who better to design it than Jimmy himself
I grew up, and still live, in a wee village on the NW coast of the Scottish highlands. I was born in the late 70s and if you were a girl, like I was, it was a given that you’d go for highland dancing lessons. I hated them - my teacher would slap the back of my bare legs with the swords we had to dance over. They were wooden swords rather than the metal ones, but it still hurt. So, I now associate Jimmy Shane with getting my calves beaten raw by a mean wifey!
I enjoyed this very much. It is a wonderful tribute to the great gentleman, brilliant musician Jimmy Shand. Brings back great memories from my childhood and much later in the nineties when I joined the dancers at Letham.Village Hall which was shown in the video. A beautiful production Thank you.
My daughters wedding! He was on his way to America for a stint…..and spent approx week in or street , with an old friend . My daughter was pretty lucky!
I,ve got many recordings of the big names in scottish bands. On one of Jimmy,s double albums is a picture of his second man playing an Excelsior accordion, and I thought it could be Shorthouse. Thanks for your reply. Good to hear from a fellow enthusiast. Frank in Bristol.

Oh …..and my favourite wild flowers’as well !.
They all danced……but they didn’t know he was a worldly icon!
I think we used his music in my irish dancing class in the early 80s . Excellent music
