Andy Stewart - The Rumour

Andy Stewart MBE (30 December 1933 - 11 October 1993)

Andy Stewart was a Scottish Singer and much loved entertainer whose international hits included "Donald Where's Your Troosers?" - "A Scottish Soldier" - "Campbeltown Loch" - "The Muckin' O' Geordie's Byre" - "The Road to Dundee" - "The Battle's O'er" - "Take Me Back" - "Tunes Of Glory" and "Dr. Finlay" to name but a few. He had an amazing ability to mimic people and would often entertain family and friends with his impersonations and perhaps his best known impersonation was that of Elvis Presley in his song Donald Where's Your Troosers?.

His skill with different accents is also evident on "The Rumour", where the rumour moves across Scotland and into Ireland, with Andy Stewart speaking in a different accent for each place.
