Tribute to Scottish Entertainers (no longer with us)

[diggertroc]

Can;t wait to get back To Scotland from NZ and crawl around all the old Glasgow pubs singing all the classics, the youth should know these days!

[weeGeorgiegirl]

I would like to add to your list of names, Pipe Major Tommy Shearer , one of the greatest pipers of the great Highland bagpipes. I really miss him and those mighty drones, the video is a great tribute, thank you so much .x

I haven't lived in Scotland for a long time, so it's come as a shock to find out Rikki Fulton is dead. I used to love 'Scotch and Wry' as a boy.

[Janet4807]

Thank you so much for this memorial to some great Scottish entertainers. I know there are many more that you wanted to include. Can we hope to see a part 2 to this very thoughtful video?

[jaymaki1]

There are many many more...Billy Rusk...Johnny Victory...Jimmy ("just leave the keys and I'll lock up!) Neil....The three Tommies Morgan, Yorke & Lorne...Sammy Murray...The list is endless

very good tribute but you have missed out the following entertainers, The great accordion player Will Starr,one of the best scottish singers Robert Wilson and also another great accordion player Bobby Mcleod from the island of Tobermory.

[SalsaShakers]

My heart breaks at this song. It's so about all the Scottish entertainers when I was growing up and listened to on the telly. It reminds me of family, friends, Hogmanay, coal fires, real tea, spotlessly clean home, closeness of family. It's all about childhood memories, which last a lifetime! R.I.P. To all past family, friends, relatives, neebirs and the Auld Yins! :(

[glasgowbard]

Aye its a special song indeed. Thanks for the comment.

very good but you missed out one of the best accordion players in the world, the ledgendery Will Starr

[TheRuss6107]

Loved your tribute, but missed one of my favorites, Dundee's own Dennis Clancy.

[glasgowbard]

Thank you, always meant to get round to do another tribute to more of our great and missed entertainers but have been so busy with study that haven't had the time.

[garylmcguire11]

[rabblue]

[glasgowbard]

Your welcome, thanks for the comment.

[jimmymullins1950]

what about one of the best accordion players Scotland ever produced WILL STARR and he is not mentioned

[glasgowbard]

There are many more I haven't mentioned, not possible for me to get round to doing them all, guess we can't please everyone eh.

David

[tabscrew]

the boys are still do what they do best even after fifty years. glasgowbard I sent you a message post if you like, it's fine with me.

[broonbreed]

Nice wan.. Scotland`s best... hello to the `A` bros. from Neil. (I tried to book them for the Loch Long Hotel at the turn of the centuary after booking the great Valerie Dunbar who unfortunately passed on before then.) Keep up the Good work.

[Daddymccourt]

Glad to see Lonnie there, by far Scotland's most infuential artist.

[GoldenOldies60and70s]

Beautiful video, but as commented below it would have been respectful to see Will Starr's and also Rob Gordon's name mentioned!

[glasgowbard]

Thank you, i always planned to do another tribute to include others but have just been so busy. We have so many great entertainers that graced scotland and the world so hopefully i'll get a chance to do another one soon.

[nickladey]

[glasgowbard]

Thanks nick, appreciate the comment :)

[rabblue]

just a thought all these sadly missed entertainers on stage on the same nicht ye could nai beat it

[scoterpool]

Here's another three greats from an earlier era:Robert Wilson, Will Fyffe and Harry Gordon.I am 37 and love them even though I don't remember them,I was brought up on that era of music by my dad and think those artists had such a love for Scotland which came across in their music, it helped to make me proud of my country. Great vid by the way.

[glasgowbard]

Well its good that you mentioned him now :)

[greyseal2519]

Chic Murray "I was walkin' doon the High Street the other day, tripped an' went a' ma length on the road. Ah wis pickin' maself up when somebody says "Oh, have ye fallen?" Ah says "No ah'm tryin' tae break a bar o chocolate in ma back pocket!"

[tictaczak]

Have just shown my father this clip- what a nice moment of memories to share.

Many thanks again.

[woodheadgreen]

thankyou :)

[Accordionman331]

That was brilliant but you forgot will starr a fantastic accordion player.

[Mharii33]

I have not cried so much for such a long time. I didn't realise how homesick I was. After 18 years in Spain. I'm only 38 but I have a huge crush on Roy Williamson when I was really small. i loved the Corries. My uncle took me to see them loads of times. My mother always said that Tom and Jack were distant cousins but I think everybody in Cambusnethan said that. We are really proud of them. Thankyou so much for this video, David. Please do another for the rest of our absent friends.

[glasgowbard]

Thanks for nice comment Mhari, i'm glad you enjoyed it. I will try do another one very soon for sure.

Take care for now x

[wullies11]

What can anyone say, this is a fantastic video, i wish they wer all still here and then the world would be a much better place.

They were everybodys freinds.

[tictaczak]

Great tribute-well done-loved it. So many fantastic memories with such an apt song.

Hope you find time to cover them all.

[stupat3]

Thanks for these great memories.I was brought up in Hurlford in Ayrshire in the late 40's and the fifties, and all these scottish legends,I remember as if it was yesterday, and sometimes I wish it was.Life seemed less complicated and much easier then. It probably wasn't for my parents, but growing up then was fun.

Stu from Queensland.

[glasgowbard]

Thanks Stu, its great to have the memories from yesteryear. If only we could go back in time eh.
