On Sunday afternoon October 27th 2019 The Salutation Hotel in Perth was the venue for a special concert featuring several former All Scotland Accordion Champions. A full house audience were treated to performances by Jimmy Cassidy (1967), Jim Lindsay (1974), James Coutts (1992), Michael Philip (2000), Liam Stewart (2003 and 2013), and Leonard Brown (2012). 2019 Junior Irish traditional champions Myles (accordion) and April (fiddle) Macauley, 11 and 9 years old respectively, were special guests. Accompaniment was provided by pianist Graham Berry and Malcolm Ross on drums.

The CD 'An Audience with the Accordion Champions' features highlights from each of the artists, and includes audience reaction. The sound quality is excellent for a live recording, and the standard of playing is brilliant from start to finish. The concert organiser and compere was Leonard Brown, and the CD is available via his website and other internet sources.
