Jane Turriff not merely accompanied herself on the harmonium, she dragged it all round Scotland with her,by public transport, with a leg crippled by polio and leading her blind husband.

I believe Jack Elliott of Birtley could, at a pinch, accompany himself on a guitar.

So far contributions have concentrated on self accompaniment, but what about those nexecrable accompanimens Peter Kennedy perpetrated on some of the singers from whom he collected. And I'm sure that somewhere I have an EP of Jeannie Robertson accompanied by Robin Hall and Jimmy McGregor. Lawd Elpus!
