 Calum MacLean, one of Scotland’s finest accordionists and composers of music in both Scottish and Continental genres, passed away on April 3rd at the age of 80. Calum MacLean was born in Tobermory, Isle of Mull in 1934. The youngest of a family of eight, he was given a single row melodeon at the age of nine, progressed to a 2-row Hohner diatonic, and then took up the 5-row Continental chromatic at the age of fourteen, which Calum persevered with, teaching himself to read and write music. In his formative years, Bobby MacLeod, the Isle of Mull’s other great accordion star player, influenced Calum’s playing. In 1970 Calum won the Coupe d' Europe (European Championship) in Bad Godesberg, Germany, and went on to establish himself as one of his nation’s finest musicians, performing many times on BBC TV and radio. Essentially a solo accordionist rather than part of the dance band scene, Calum was also a great composer of music for accordion, and was particularly adept at writing pieces that are pastiches of French musette, Swiss, Latin, Italian, etc. Many of his 300+ compositions have been published, and also recorded. The composers Calum MacLean particularly admired over the years include Pietro Frosini, Pietro Deiro, and Scotland’s Ian Holmes. The range of music featured on Calum MacLean’s recordings is varied and impressive, and his style is much admired. Calum and his wife Jean were married for over 50 years and his son Calum Jnr is now keeping up the family musical tradition. |

 Accordionist Shane Brogan is now resident at the Pierre Victoire Restaurant, 18 Eyre Place, Edinburgh EH3 5EP, on Saturdays from 6.30pm to 9.30pm. Shane Brogan comes from the west coast of Scotland, where he was born along with his twin brother Paul in 1971. His late father, Neil Brogan, who played the accordion, was a huge influence on Shane’s desire to learn the accordion, and he studied with Jim Hutcheon, from Ayr. Shane went on to study music at Napier University, Edinburgh, where he graduated with a diploma in music, specialising in the accordion, piano and composition. He was the very first accordionist ever to be accepted by the university. Shane went on to study jazz improvisation and also began writing music. He began performing with his twin brother, Paul, who plays keyboards and drums, and later joined The Ayrshire Fiddle Orchestra as one of their accordionists, which led to him going with them on three major tours abroad to Canada, USA and all around Europe, performing on TV and radio, whilst recording albums and videos.
