When I was a teenager ~ Arthur was a young star accordionist playing small theatres in Scotland including Winter Gardens, Rothesay, my hometown, all of all the accordionists playing in Scotland, I loved his tone of music and expertise on the accordion. I purchased his first long playing album, and the next two (and still have them in NZ now) . I moved to Glasgow to work in 1963 and was then able to see and hear him at more Scottish venues including The Metropole and Pavilion in Glasgow. I was 'avid' fan - but when I migrated to NZ in 1973 - lost touch with him. Unbeknown to me - he migrated to Australia and only recently found him on KZfaq. I was saddened to learn he passed away as recently as 2017 ~ and discover he was only 2 years older than me. Arthur was to me the greatest musician in my young life growing up in Scotland and now can listen to all his wonderful music here without seeking my old albums on my even older record player! Thanks Arthur for giving me so much pleasure ~ RIP - Jamie Shedden, Auckland, NZ

Sharp clean performance playing the tunes as they were intended without any unnecessary embellishment. A very pleasant experience.

Daaanng, not heard that version of "The Dark Island" in a good 35+ years anyway.. Nice one.
