Thread Name: Lyr Req: Muckin' o' Geordie's Byre (Andy Stewart)
Subject: RE: Does anyone have this recording'
I think it was around 1961 that it came out. We bought a copy of course because my father was an ex-Argyll & Sutherland Highlander and the piper played "Scottish Soldier" (as we knew it then)at my father's funeral. As an aside, we saw Andy Stewart when he came to Melbourne in the sixties. He introduced his accordionist to play a solo tune that he (the accordionist) had written. It was the tune "Dark Island" that most session players these days is traditional. Can anyone remember the accordionist's name?
