Stumbled across this, brought the memories flooding back , my dad played the button key accordion, and Jimmy Shand was his favourite and my mums too.. I’m 59 and still love the Scottish accordion music x ,
I danced to Jimmy Shand all over Scotland in my younger years. The last place my wife and I danced to Jimmy was in the Church Hall in Scotlandwell. My uncle transported a few of us in my Grand Father's Ice cream van. Happy memories.
Jimmy was unique. He was a one off and admired by everyone and always ready to praise talent wherever he found it. I knew him well having sung with him on TV. When he was knighted at the age of 90 Kenneth McKellar and I went to his home in Auchtermuchty and when Kenneth asked him why he had chosen to travel to Holyrood Palace rather than Buckingham Palace to be knighted his reply was as ever short leaving nothing more to be said, "Edinburgh's nearer!"
Child hood memories of my late dad listening to take the floor every Saturday night with a wee hoff and nobody else had a choice but to listen too !! Hed Have enjoyed this ! Happy days ! Cheers dad 🥃would’ve been 86 today
Jimmy Shand figure parmi l'un des meilleurs ensembles folkloriques écossais, toujours aussi joyeux pour faire danser la farandole sur de jigs, reels, valses, schottish ou polkas !
The late Dermot o Brien told me Jimmy was about to appear on his TV show in ireland and Dermot asked Jimmy will we play it like this.Jimmy replied Dermot the man that composed that tune if he wanted that to be in it he would have put it in it and Dermot said what coud i say
@@Avino255 hi there! Yes, that part of West London had a very strong Irish & Irish/Scottish community back then. I'm neither of those 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but loved the music.

He was simply the best. Did not like to be the centre of attraction which when he played he always was. IU was fortunate to sing with him many times and will never forget his support and kindness. Joe Campbell
i hope so but unfortunatly the people nowadays call noise pollution ,,,, musicand don,t know real i thank god every day for being the [maybe sadly the last generation ] to KNOW music ///
Thanks,Avino Hawker Hunter,haha And shortly I posted on one of your John Ellis recordings. John was a great in his own right and one of the bands,never to be forgotten.
Maybe for the time being enough about our coveted Scottish dance music,Which NEVER gets boring,that is. CAUSE...it's CLASSICAL music.(see to melody and form)!!!!!But in terms of your Hawker Hunter? Maybe you as a former Hunter pilot? Well,in Holland we've the DHHF (Dutch Hawker Hunter Foundation) but it all is supervised by the British Exeter. They were the 2nd generation of jet fighters,produced in the UK.for European countries.The first generation was the UK Gloster Meteors.(first production still without an ejector seat.) But later.....we turned away from the English fighters and ordered the US Starfighter. The first American fighter,as said. ERROR!!!! During the same Gloster Meteor generation,the Republic F84 Thunderjets had been set in in Holland (CTL)..Just THEY were the first American fighters.And the jet trainers at the time? For a long time still the Lockheed T33!!!!! But next...again back to Scottish Dance Music

This reminds me of my youth. When Jimmy Shand came on the radio everything in our house came to a standstill unless you were dancing ! At age 84 my feet are still dancing.
My father insisted on listening to take the floor before going to his Saturday night meeting with his cronies.In the pub of course. He wasn’t a bad accordionist himself.
Thanks Avino. Started playing the box 60 years ago by listening to Jimmy,s records, when I was 12. Always loved his version of the Killarney Waltz. Who was 2nd box on that track? Thanks Frank in Bristol.
Hey,Avino....well....reading your response,I first didn't know anymore,what it was about.Well,about Shand timeless,I suppose, Certainly Shand is timeless and from the beginning,a source for the other bands,to which he was a trendsetter. Making himself popular by this? Oh NOOOO!!! It only was his message to the folks and the world.He,himself was a modest,self-effacing man!!!! We could do with more Shands,if there were....we had a perfect world!

Nice to hear it brought back happy memories
Isn’t it great to hear pleasant music again. 😊
Listening to Jimmy takes away your Corona virus blues. Cheers Jimmy and the uploader
It does. From 13:45 to 16:16 always gets to me, as it makes me think of my late father (RIP).
I danced to Jimmy Shand all over Scotland in my younger years. The last place my wife and I danced to Jimmy was in the Church Hall in Scotlandwell. My uncle transported a few of us in my Grand Father's Ice cream van. Happy memories.
Listening to Jimmy Shand playing just lifts my spirits.l especially love the bluebell Polka.

My Dad loved Jimmy Shand, RIP Dad, hope you’re up there still playing the accordian ♥️

He is just the greatest accordionist ever
Just the best there will never be another
My dad's absolute idol and friend ( Dad's 92). Xx

Memories of My late Dad and I dancing to this 😊
What a man, he could get a tune out a ducks arse.
The late great Jimmy Shand was unique
My primary school (Catholic) in west London back in the late 60's played a lot of this type of music before & after assembly's.
Really, would never have thought that they would play this type of music down there. ☺️
@@Avino255 hi there! Yes, that part of West London had a very strong Irish & Irish/Scottish community back then. I'm neither of those 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but loved the music.
@@Brentford-rf5sh Thanks for that information.🎶

Im missing home so much ,have not been home for almost three years now ,used to be home three times a year
Missing Scotland so much …and Jimmy Shand is Scotland

Hi Iain Keep on dancing. I'm right up there with you from Fearnan Perthshire now BC Canada.
Way back in the 60`s when i was a kid i hated this music. Times have changed and me too. I love it.
The last of the truly greats - we"ll no see his likes again
Me grandad fucking loved this
My father insisted on listening to take the floor before going to his Saturday night meeting with his cronies.In the pub of course.
He wasn’t a bad accordionist himself.
Delicious melodies!
