Addie Harper and Friends get Dingwall and District Accordion and Fiddle Club's new season off to toe-tapping start

DINGWALL and District Accordion and Fiddle Club kick-started a new season with the well-known Addie harper and Friends from the Wick area.

The musical evening at the Legion Club was compered by Ian Simpson who welcomed a large audience for the first meeting of the season.

Joanne Sutherland, a very talented young accordionist, joined Addie, who also played his accordion for most of the evening. Completing the front row line-up were accomplished fiddlers Lexie and Philip Swanson.

It is encouraging to see young talent playing at a high standard and keeping our music very much alive. On keyboard providing first class accompaniment was Richard Smith. He, along with Callum Reid on drums completed what was first class musical entertainment and greatly appreciated by the enthusiastic audience.

Local performers playing accordions were Monica MacLean, Graham Wood, Nicol MacKay, Colin Donaldson and Graham Wilson. Fraser Donaldson and Allen Shepherd provided piano accompaniment and on drums were Maggie Jamieson and Heather Donaldson.
