| The Accordions Worldwide news for July 3rd 1998 included a report from the always very active Gary Blair about a visit he and three other musician friends paid to Dubai, where they played for a Scottish ceilidh. Scottish dance music is internationally popular to an extent that will surprise many people, and Gary Blair is this week off to France, then to the USA, where he is always a welcome visitor with his lively music. SUCCESSFUL CONCERT IN THE MIDDLE EAST Contributed by Gary Blair On June 18th Gary Blair and his Ceilidh Band performed Scottish dance music at the Dubai Caledonian Society's Chieftains Ball in the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Dubai which houses five restaurants, an ice rink, swimming pool, health spa, shopping centre, cinema and disco! The ballroom was decked out with tartan and paintings of Scottish Castles on every wall. Over 250 guests danced to tunes like Gay Gordon's, Strip the Willow, and the Dashing White Sergeant. The four piece band consisted of Gary Blair (accordion), Richard Wong (accordion), Stevie Mills (drums) and Alistair McCulloch (violin). The event was so successful they have since been invited to Baku (Azerbaijan), Dubai, Dahran, Abu Dabi, and Bahrain. |
