Concertina & Scottish Smallpipes!

[Ptarmigan]

I had thought that, just maybe, our short lived group, The Sons of Usnach, might have been the first to use Scottish Smallpipes & Concertina in their line up, but it turns out that The Clutha beat us by some 6 years.

 

Anyway, here's a photo of us, back in 10983, running through a few tunes before the big gig, in the back garden of my Gardener's Cottage at Inverallan, Grantown on Spey.

 

 

We are L to R: Duncan Dyker {Fiddle}, Ruairidh Morrison {Flute}, Dick Glasgow {Concertina, Banjo & Mandola}, Hamish Moore {Scottish Smallpipes} & Sabine Glasgow {Harp}.

 

Here we are on stage at the Dingwall Folk Festival, 1983.

 

 

I could be wrong, but I don't think that little guy on the front row, was our only audience that day!

 

Cheers,

Dick
