Scottish Music from Bryansroom

CHARLIE KIRKPATRICK

Charlie, born and brought up in Iona, the famous island to the west of Mull started playing the accordion at an early age.

He made his debut album away back in the early eighties and about the same time formed his own band and started broadcasting for Radio Scotland's regular Saturday night programme - Take the Floor.

Very popular as a trio or a quartet at ceilidhs, weddings, accordion clubs and the like all around Scotland.

Charlie is a strong believer that communication through music is vitally important. There's no dance Charlie plays where the audience sits down. You can bet your boots they are up dancing!

He's a master of his craft as far as that's concerned and is respected throughout Scotland as an expert on the '3-row Chromatic' accordion.

In 2012 Charlie received the National Association of Accordion & Fiddle Clubs Annual Award.
