Genius absolute perfection lm a proud Irishman l Love my native Irish music but Will Starr is a sensation

best accordion player we ever produced . simple as that

What a joy to hear Will Starr again. I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert many years ago. Thanks a million. Greetings from Ireland. Terry.

my dad introduced me to this music fifty years ago, and it's as fresh and entertaining now as it was then.

When I was a small boy about 8 years-old, my father took me the White Heather Show in the old Georgia Auditorium in Vancouver. Will Starr and Robert Wilson were the featured artists. I will never forget the pandemonium caused by the accordion-playing of Will Starr. The next day the show travelled to Chilliwack about 65 miles east of Vancouver in the beautiful Fraser Valley - pastoral farms surrounded by majestic snow-capped mountains. The people of Chilliwack were heavy into barn dancing, so they too made a big fuss over Will Starr, making him "The Honorary Mayor of Chilliwack" for the day. A time not to be forgotten.

Good man from Croy ❤️❤️😊

my granny introduced me to his music before I even went to school... clearly made an impression as im still listening now and im 30!!! Always remember him kicking his leg up like that when he was playing lol

Tommy my hero the best of them all God rest you will

Absolutely brilliant and exhilarating musician loves by everyone who heard his playing....

dont ever take this vid off of here . love it .

Love love love!!!! Happiest memories!

I'm another distant relative on my Mom's side ... grew up listening to the With a Kick album !!!

My Child hood Hero when I was learning to play the box. Still have his album.

Absolutely awesome, musical antichrist genius absolute perfection

Golden fingers the great will Starr. xx xx happy day's

What a lovely woman. I'm sorry she wasn't around in Scotland in my day. Beautiful voice, beautiful persona. Alastair

Looks like the Abrerdeen Torry quine June Imray introducing the man with the box whom Robert Wilson discovered.When they played in Stornoway town hall c.1957 hardly anyone turned up which was a big disappointment. Robert was photographed at a dinner 1956 with my late uncle Iain Smith Manager for the Blindie in Huntley st.,Aberdeen before it moved to Kinkers c.1972, both resplendent in kilts and evening Highland dress with my uncle owning both a silver sporan and otter skin.

Croy’s finest

love the technique that will starr uses and how he is master at playing those triplets,real cool stuff.

I remember seeing him in Leven over fifty years ago.

Memories of my Dad

nice to see him back on here, great to see will at his best.

This is a grampian TV thing. I vaguely remember it. he used to lift his right leg from time to time.

BRILLIANT!!!!

The best box player that ever was

Saw him in St Mary’s hall with Robert Wilson. Brilliant

How difficult it must've been to just sit there and not get up to dance Many thanks nonetheless 💓

Absolutely brilliant! MORE!!!!!

That was awesome - loved it

there arnt enough videos of will starr.great player.

I've missed this recording for a while on youtube. Great to see it again. There must be another track too.

Wow great memories :D

Legend will with sir Jimmy

If i am not Mistaken that is the Duke Of Athols Set which you can hear on In Starr Tyme which is one of Will Starrs last ever Records.

Great accordion player

Great. I missed this recordings for a while.

This is my grandpas uncle belive it or not and he used to play alot with jimmy shand amazing eh

Croy boy.

Do you have the rest of the show? If you do, please upload it. Thank you.

There used to a video of him doing "The March Hare" on the web - do you have that? I can't find it now.

What TV show is this from?

great legg work

my dad told us as a child that he was related to will starr cousin or something apparently will and shand would go around to their house and play

Hi. I heard a story once that my grans brother was will's dad. Her maiden name was starr and she lived in kilsyth, but she was born 1900ish? Wouldn't that be weird if we were related. Will certainly has our eyebrows lol

Seen will starr many times when he used to come up and play in the old teneriffe lounge in the caley hotel on church st Magic player

What are the names of the tunes? Great video by the way! :)

Isla St. Clair at 1:41?

no one can play a button key accordion like will,anyone can play a piano one

How can you say that is Pish please can you explaine why you think it is Pish.

Don’t you think he’s a ringer of Richard Nixon?

Shand was a dance band player not a virtuoso player

Very good indeed but would sound much better if played at a much slower tempo. Shand was much more enjoyable to listen to .

I think he's brilliant but it's too fast I think.

bloody good-------------but Jimmy Shand would have kicked his arse the best day he ever saw!
