| The Accordions Worldwide news for December 4th 1998 included a report from Australia that the actor Sean Connery, who is Scottish, had publicly praised Capercaillie, who were on tour from Scotland. James Bond star Connery’s endorsement did much to enhance Capercaillie’s support and reputation. Capercaillie, formed in 1984 by Donald Shaw, are still going strong. FILM STAR ENDORSEMENT FOR SCOTTISH GROUP The Daily Telegraph (Australia) included an article recently about Scottish funk band ‘Capercaillie’ who are currently touring Australia. The group, which includes accordionist Donald Shaw, believe that since popular film star Sean Connery called them "extraordinary", they have attracted younger, more diverse crowds. He said, "audiences changed dramatically after the high-profile endorsement". When they first performed in Australia a few years ago they played for an older crowd who they believe went away confused as their music isn't the traditional sing-along sound people thought they were going to hear. |
