It certainly is hard to beat. So glad there is a recording of it so we can continue to enjoy it, and for new viewers to discover.

My Irish Dad loved this band, so very happy to find this on You Tube, greetings from Australia..

Brilliant, brings back memories of my dear mother singing in the kitchen.

Yes takes me back to the new years eve's parties on Grampian TV !!!! with my Mum and Dad the good old years !!!!

Memories of days gone by in Scotland with my ane folk that are no longer with us, ahhh so lovely....Closed my eyes and I was transformed once again. Thank you!

Heaven on earth.These men bring happiness to the world. Wonderful.

Happy New Year Mum - I can never forget you humming this lovely song! xx

Bill had a rare singing voice. Remember as a boy, he played football for Muirkirk Juniors. Lovely memories and a lovely man.

They can keep all the rubbish they waste Hogmanay on these days, bring us back some wonderful evenings of real pleasure with people like this!!

Yes, I agree. Music that you can't help but like. Shame there isn't more like this these days. Jimmy Shand was great. It's good to see so many people enjoying it.

I Used to watch the White Heather club every new years eve in black and white when I was a kid in London, my grandad was from the Highlands and my dad had a selection of Jimmy Shand 78s, couldn't help but tap my feet.

Stands the test of time. Fanastic!!!!

Just fantastic. I don't know why, but love the music from times gone by. So much better than alot of the rubbish played today.

What a group : Jimmy Shand , Jim McLeod, Bobby MacLeod , Ian Powrie , Bill McCue and Jimmy Shand Junior -- certainly I will never see such a group together again and I doubt if anyone will ------- incredible .

I'm not Scottish, but I love, love, LOVE this!

The greatest players of Scottish music ever - Sir Jimmy Shand and Ian Powrie together....classic stuff.

Jim Shand ,You will be with us for ever .You are the greatest.

Oh dear lord life is worth living when you heat this xxx

I would have loved it even more, had he sung the second verse also.

Used to sing this song in the Highlands of Scotland from off the radio

This is the best line up of Scottish danc bands you will ever find and i am sure you will never see it again.

Memories...time..where has it gone x

Great tune................... should be the National Anthem of Scotland

Shand and McCue ... two of Scotland's best.

god bless scotland my great grandad was in the black watch and im very proud of my scottish blood

Memories, those were the days..

yes how right you are if we could only go back to these times now we have to listen to mindnumbing rubbish .

What a voice. Like others on here I'm taken back to being a young boy with wonderful parents and this on tv or maybe radio around my bedtime.

I love Bill Mc Cue xx

makes you want ta get up and dance .sure as hells gets rid of the blues !ah memories.

I think I'm related to Bill. My Dad always said there was a connection. My Grandpa's mother was called Margaret McCue. We're all good singers and accordion players.

What a voice. Looks like a beardy Tom Jones in a kilt.

Those were the days, proud to be Scottish.

Love it.....

*One word......Brilliant*

Jimmy Shand! Scotland’s best!

More, please! The Laird o' Auchtermuchty doesn't get nearly enough time on here.......have you got the rest of this broadcast. (Some Bobby MacLeod, Jim Johnstone and Ian McPhail wouldn't go amiss, either!) Magic!

Legends …

Those were the days

Superb :)

🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏💃💃💃🎤🎙

I love this, and I'm a brass player.

Those were the days! X

Bill had such a unique voice....and the band wisnie half bad an aw.

Great post. A great song about my favourite island - Islay. Thank you for sharing and thanks to sessnazx for sending.

I am and I love this too

Allanton man, friends of my Mum and Dad

Used to sing this and the song of the Clyde at assembly in primary school in Glasgow, those were the days

Shand was a locational name 'of Shaund' a small spot in France.

I love it

Great

Awesome

Would it be possible to upload any more of this footage if it exists? Would be great to hear!

Proud to be Scottish

Hogmanay on BBC just seems to be full of glitz and glamour....not even worth watching. I wish that they could squeeze in something like this, something down to earth.

a great Wemysser oor Jimmy

The scottish Tony Bennett

i am proud to say i met jim in huddersfield town hall in the late 60s

T ip Top.

Bro Shand SMIB.

grear tune

Much of Scotland seems to be ashamed of it's traditional music, or it may be that many are tone deaf and only respond to tuneless beat and rhythm supposed to be music. Aye, Hogmanay on TV is a disgrace.

Free jullie n assange

Kuheg

Bill McCue making a complete fool of himself. The Master of Scottish Dance Music sits there beside him - Jimmy Shand - The Scottish Dance Music Legend. In World War II the Japanese wondered how they could torture the Scottish P.O.W,s - eventually they came up with this..... they nailed the Scots prisoner's feet to the floor then put on Jimmy Shand records....
