Tom Alexander was Guest of Honour at the concert, which proved to be a great occasion and a sell-out. Tom Alexander rose to fame in the 1950s with his late brother Jack, a vocalist and pianist, as The Alexander Brothers, and their worldwide fame through concerts, tours, recordings and DVDs brought them great success. Tom, an All Scotland Champion in the 1950s, is widely recognised as one of the finest accordionists of his era. Leonard Brown, from Newcastle, became only the second Englishman to become All Scotland Accordion Champion in 2012 (Robert Whitehead was the first in 1978). He has emerged as one the best young accordionists on the Accordion & Fiddle Club scene. For further information email: leonardbrownaccordion@gmail.com |
