Sir Jimmy Shand (1908-2000) Tops The Charts Again – Germanyby Rob Howard |
The original ‘The Linton Ploughman’, played by Jimmy Shand and his Band.
 Sir Jimmy Shand's 1960's recording of the ‘The Linton Ploughman’ set of jigs – ‘The Muckin' O' Geordie's Byre’, ‘Lady Nellie Wemyss’, ‘Braidley’s House’, ‘Major Mackie’, has been remixed into a Dance Track by DJ Stevie Lennon from Bellshill in Scotland. The Dance Remix of ‘The Linton Ploughman’ set, renamed ‘Shander’ is now number 1 in Germany's Top 100 Download Chart. DJ Stevie said "It puts a bit of fun back into clubbing and it's brilliant bringing Jimmy Shand to modern audiences." This is not the first time that Jimmy Shand has entered the charts. In 1955 Jimmy made the UK Top 20 with his single recording ‘The Bluebell Polka’ To watch the BBC Scotland report on the Dance Track and hear the 'Shander' track, click the top video link above.
