 Accordionist Leonard Brown and his band perform a concert on Sunday August 28th, 2pm until 5pm, to celebrate the career of Tom Alexander MBE, who retired earlier this year. Tom Alexander will be the Guest of Honour at this concert, held at The Salutation Hotel, Perth. The concert coincides with the release of a new CD by Leonard Brown, featuring music associated with Tom Alexander.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 wherever they appeared. In 1964 their single ‘Nobody’s Child’, outsold the Beatles in Scotland. Tom, an All Scotland Champion in the 1950s, was one of the finest accordionists of his era, and made many appearances and recordings as a solo artist. 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. Maggie Adamson is similarly renowned as an outstanding young fiddle player.
