| A new CD ‘Brandon McPhee Band play the music of Sir Jimmy Shand’ has been released. On this recording Brandon McPhee and his band play music composed by or associated with the late great Sir Jimmy Shand, the first accordionist to be knighted. This CD features the music played by Brandon McPhee in his ‘Jimmy Shand Story’ show, currently being performed in theatres in Scotland and Ireland. The band line-up is Brandon McPhee - Hohner Shand Morino accordion, acoustic guitar, vocals; Alastair MacDonald - piano accordion, Manson Grant - piano, bass, harmony vocals; Phil Anderson - acoustic guitar, harmony vocals track 6; Robert Cameron – drums. Sir Jimmy Shand (1908-2000) had a performing and recording career that lasted from the early 1930s to the 1990s, was a prolific composer, and became arguably the most famous Scotsman of the 20th Century. The stage show is a celebration of this remarkable band leader, whose tunes continue to feature in the repertoire of many traditional accordionists and dance bands.
