This from Pete Shepheard
GORDON EASTON of Tyrie, Aberdeenshire has passed away aged 91 - a wonderful singer and a great character who also played fiddle, jew's harp and was an excellent diddler and had latterly taken up the melodeon. Gordon's funeral will take place in Tyrie Kirk at Tyrie just off the A98, 5 miles SW of Fraserburgh on Monday at 1.00pm. I am so glad he had the chance to become so well known in his latter years - and that we were able to record him when he was a guest at the FifeSing Festivals. Thanks to Steve Byrne for putting up the link to his majestic performance of the Barnyards of Delgaty.
