It certainly is hard to beat. So glad there is a recording of it so we can continue to enjoy it, and for new viewers to discover.

[@billyhicks3441]

Bill had a rare singing voice. Remember as a boy, he played football for Muirkirk Juniors. Lovely memories and a lovely man.

My Irish Dad loved this band, so very happy to find this on You Tube, greetings from Australia..

[@09TheWex]

What a group : Jimmy Shand , Jim McLeod, Bobby MacLeod , Ian Powrie , Bill McCue and Jimmy Shand Junior -- certainly I will never see such a group together again and I doubt if anyone will ------- incredible .

[@pinkyman5155]

I Used to watch the White Heather club every new years eve in black and white when I was a kid in London, my grandad was from the Highlands and my dad had a selection of Jimmy Shand 78s, couldn't help but tap my feet.

[@Smith8340]

Just fantastic. I don't know why, but love the music from times gone by. So much better than alot of the rubbish played today.

[@robertp.wainman4094]

Happy New Year Mum - I can never forget you humming this lovely song! xx

[@katiaorourke5183]

Heaven on earth.These men bring happiness to the world. Wonderful.

[@quilpiepark]

The greatest players of Scottish music ever - Sir Jimmy Shand and Ian Powrie together....classic stuff.

[@Smith8340]

Yes, I agree. Music that you can't help but like. Shame there isn't more like this these days. Jimmy Shand was great. It's good to see so many people enjoying it.

[@briansmart8206]

Those were the days, proud to be Scottish.

[@joadt]

I think I'm related to Bill. My Dad always said there was a connection. My Grandpa's mother was called Margaret McCue. We're all good singers and accordion players.

[@bridgettecampbell1018]

*One word......Brilliant*

[@bridgettecampbell1018]

Love it.....

Jimmy Shand! Scotland’s best!

[@DPCR00]

Superb :)

[@Robertw1946]

Those were the days

[@BuddyFantastic]

Hogmanay on BBC just seems to be full of glitz and glamour....not even worth watching. I wish that they could squeeze in something like this, something down to earth.

[@truecrimescotsman]

Bill had such a unique voice....and the band wisnie half bad an aw.

[@anthonygill5946]

I love this, and I'm a brass player.

[@janinefarnell8570]

I am and I love this too

[@silverdalesapphires]

More, please! The Laird o' Auchtermuchty doesn't get nearly enough time on here.......have you got the rest of this broadcast. (Some Bobby MacLeod, Jim Johnstone and Ian McPhail wouldn't go amiss, either!) Magic!

[@Corrie121]

Great post. A great song about my favourite island - Islay. Thank you for sharing and thanks to sessnazx for sending.

[@ThaAproject]

i am proud to say i met jim in huddersfield town hall in the late 60s

[@cathiesharkey9819]

Great music

[@billalbion]

Much of Scotland seems to be ashamed of it's traditional music, or it may be that many are tone deaf and only respond to tuneless beat and rhythm supposed to be music. Aye, Hogmanay on TV is a disgrace.

[@fanmaxis3004]

Bill McCue making a complete fool of himself. The Master of Scottish Dance Music sits there beside him - Jimmy Shand - The Scottish Dance Music Legend. In World War II the Japanese wondered how they could torture the Scottish P.O.W,s - eventually they came up with this..... they nailed the Scots prisoner's feet to the floor then put on Jimmy Shand records....

[@quilpiepark]

...actually he's between two masters - Shand and Powrie
