Scotsbluebell contacted us to say:
Was looking for something about my late father and came across this fantastic music. S. Chalmers is my father, and for many years was fiddle player with Jimmy Shand’s Band. In my opinion he is the greatest Scots fiddler EVER, and I know many share that opinion with me. Thank you to Iain Grant, I don’t know you but again a huge thank you for posting this great piece of music onto the archive.
