Jimmy Shand in Fife 1986

[@RichardPGE]

What a line up, some of the most legendary Scottish Dance Band leaders of all time together in one band Magic !!!

[@ianleiper]

Hi glad you enjoyed watching this I view this on New Year's Eve instead of the trash that is offered these days.

[@shandfan]

@@ianleiper The trash you mentioned above certainly is that today's "Celtic Confectionaries",as called by the initiated! The best of the authentic material has been locked up for long,"thanks" to BBC (....) But fortunately it starts running up again.We should celebrate this!! And what a great recording,a well selected company indeed.And 1000 thanks for posting! It's more worth than all of my LP's together!! And as for Sir Jimmy.....if there had been more of such persons,we 'd have had a better world!!!

[@ianleiper]

Thanks for your kind comments

[@ianleiper]

@@shandfan thanks for your good comments its the only one I have of this Great Musician.

[@shandfan]

Yes....two MacLeods,Bobby and Jim.

[@billgray1639]

Absolutely wonderful. History!

[@ianleiper]

Hi there glad you enjoyed it that was Hogmanay not like the trash on these days.

Truly thee master of Scottish dance music Unique really or reely

[@ianleiper]

Hi thanks for watching and comments

[@robertmcallan131]

Well Ian, I dont know from where you delved this from, but it is certainly a form of buried treasure. Each and every artiste in their own right masters at their craft in their lifetime. Jean Redpath and her timeless rendering of Dumbarton*s Drums never to be surpassed.

[@ianleiper]

Thanks for watching this I recorded on my first vidio recorder when it was first on the TV in 1986 and I put it onto a DVD in 2006.I watch it once annually at New Year better than the trash on these days.

[@shandfan]

Dumbartons Drums. I learned about this reel tune by the BBC Scottish Variety Orchestra in the early 60s. The 50s and 60s,...THOSE were the times!!

[@ianleiper]

@@shandfan thanks for watching

[@robertwhelan9132]

Many Scottish legends are featured in this classic clip...amazing 🤗

[@robertwhelan9132]

...and the broad Scots tongue is so refreshing to hear

[@ianleiper]

Hi thanks for watching and your comment yes I well remember seeing this on its 2nd time round on TV in late 1987 there is nought to compare to this today.

[@robertwhelan9132]

also, for those who don't have the Gaelic, Bobby McLeod said, "Bliadhna Mhath Ùr dhut agus slàinte mhath" (Happy new year and good health to you" (13:07)

[@ianleiper]

Thanks for watching and your kind comments.T.V today is absolutely tripe compaired to this almost 4 decades ago.I watched this in 1986 and recorded it when it was repeated in late 1987 with my first vidio recorder which set you back £600 in those days.

[@johnrobertson7365]

Absolutely brilliant, the classic sound of the box played by top men and the other members of this will never be replicated dunoon pier memories, clyde steamers to this was every day, superb

[@iainquinn6121]

Absolutely 💯brilliant and full of fantastic shandism, a lovely line up of total nostalgia and will never be replicated ever, all of the line up ultimate magic

[@ianleiper]

Thanks for watching and your comments I copied this of an old VHS tape onto DVD and then uploaded to KZbin during last Lockdown

[@ianleiper]

Hi this I did during 1st Lockdown I found the VHS tape among my loft rubble on a clear out.I remember making recording in 1986 TV a lot better then.I used to have summer holidays in Fife in my youth in the 60,s

[@monicaager7490]

[@ianleiper]

Thanks for watching and you're great comment

[@ianleiper]

@@monicaager7490 Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it

[@hucruslub]

Absolutely amazing. I was fortunate recently to be able to visit Letham and see for myself the venue of the Shand music that took place over the years. Another off the bucket list. Forever Shand, the legend.

[@ianleiper]

Thanks for watching and your lovely comments this kind of show is a Legend in it,s own rights.Todays viewing broadcasts are trash compared to what we were offered in the 60,s 70,s and 80,s

[@ianmagill4327]

This should be tv new years eve

[@ianleiper]

Hi thanks for watching and your comment I watch it on New Year's eve as we're not out and just trash on the T.V. these days

[@Ziegler-boothBlogspot]

Absolutely brilliant! It made me quite homesick!

[@ianleiper]

Thanks for watching and your comments I will be watching this on New Year's Eve as this Pandemic has really killed all Celebrations completely in Scotland.

[@Ziegler-boothBlogspot]

@@ianleiper I'm afraid it's killed celebrations in most parts of the world! I'm watching this for a second time today and I'll watch it again on New Year's Eve too from Johannesburg.

[@stevearnold8467]

I first became acquainted with the music of Jimmy Shand in 1978 when I was traveling in Scotland with my parents and we spent the night at a bed and breakfast in Auchtermuchty, within sight of Jimmy's house. (My mom and I are descended from the Gilchrist clan in the highlands.) The family we stayed with pushed the furniture back, rolled up the rugs, and we spent the night learning Scottish dances and getting acquainted with this wonderful music. I've been a fan ever since. I will never forget that wonderful night.

[@ianleiper]

Hi thanks for watching and your comments.I used to holiday near Auchtermuchty in my youth on a family farm there afraid to say I never got the chance to meet this Great Musician.He was on many a New Year's Eve party in the 1960's

[@James.E.Newman.1966]

Absolutely love this. Love all music such as cinema organ, glam rock, jazz, Country, hymns, classical, 80's 70's, 60's 50's 40's, 30's etc, prog rock, opera, musicals, the list goes on. Makes me think of my lovely parents. Lost Dad in 1980 when I was 14, and Mum 3 1/2 years ago. Put music like this on then start fo feel I want to cry.

[@ianleiper]

Glad you enjoyed it with this endless Lockdown it helps to watch and you appreciate it more. I have a homemade old Farming in Ireland in the 1950,s the sound had died and I brought life into it via my Karroke Machine around 2006 it's a bit stop and start in its it was a headache to get it done lasts about 30mins.Its called Emerald Isle Harvesting of Oats in 1950, s

@Ian Leiper.Hello Ian. Excellent video of Jimmy Shand. I'am really interested in old music programmes on Grampian and STV. My favourites are John Carmichael's Northern Nights and Thingummyjig, Shindig with Sydney Devine and Andy's Party.

[@jamesmohan8903]

Hello everyone. My name is Martin Mohan. I am from Donegal now living in the States. I lived and worked in Scotland a long time ago and learned about the Legendary Jimmy Shand. I posted that video hoping someone would like it. It is on You Tube. If you guys would like to hear some of Jimmy's playing over the years just Google his name a d it is there I have some of his albums and compositions since I play the accordion. They said there would never be another Jimmy Shand however there is a young man by the name of Brandon McPhee. He was a child prodigy. The critics and judges say he plays just like Jimmy. He plays the Shand Morino accordion the same type as Jimmy played.

[@clemrumley9691]

what a thrill to hear Jimmy again

[@ianleiper]

Thanks for watching and your comment Jimmy was a Legend for Scotland I well remember his Bluebell Polka in the mid 1950,s it was popular with Housewife,s Choice
