Oh to possess just a fraction of the self confidence and talent of that man. Such a loss in so many respects.

Hi. My father Dr Bruce Thomson (recently deceased) wrote Tommy MacDonald of Barguillean - would really appreciate it if you could include that in the title -these things often get forgotten. Thanks

superb

Yet to hear an MSR that sounds as good as his. Forget strathspey and reel - there is something most beautiful about the way he plays a 2/4. He plays with that heavy left foot yet the tune is rounded?!

[@maxwellfan55]

Something about Alasdair's confidence, timing and sound that makes him stand out over many others, leaves one clinging on to every note.
