Remember Addie bringing The Wick Scottish down to play for annual staff dance at Stonehouse Hospital in 1966. Before dance started he took band round some of the wards and played to the patients then, following day he came back to hospital and played in each of the other wards. No charge whatsoever !
Waltz medley - By the Shores of Lock Maree, The Battle's O'er, Lonely By Myself.
Beautiful use of Hawaiian guitar in this "Sound Of The North" - well, why not - it works for me.

Addie recorded some wonderful tracks on the Hawaiian guitar, always loved the sound of it
Absolutely fabulous they were popular in Broadford SKye
They were 7 in the top 10 chart.Jimmy Blair was 6th.Shand was 1( discussed,Shand was the trendsetter and Bobbie McLeod was to be number 1,but that didn't happen.3 was Jim Cameron,4 was Ian Powrie,5 was Alasdair Downie,and 8 for Willie Hannah,the melodian player,9 for George McAlpin,and finishing with Adam Rennie.
So...for other good bands there was no place anymore.(e'g Lindsay Ross,Jack Forsite,Hamish Menzies,and others,coming later on the fore)
Absolutely beautiful. Many a dance we attended to the Wick Scottish. Takes me back. 11.40
I have that album it belonged to my late dad always have a listen to it brings back memories happy ones
This is first for me in 75 years scottish music on hawaiin guitar
I see your problem.Well...you've got to get used to it.But also for me....NO MUST!!!!!
i had the pleasure of standing beside addie harper as he played the hawaiian guiter with a whisky glass in the invergordon british legion it was amazing, david gow.
My fathe rin law was there a lot, He was Dot McDonald. I have his daughter here in CA.
Eann Nicholson piano accordionist in the wick Scottish dance band taught myself gordon munro the boxy years ago
Great bit of personal history - thanks.
He taught me too, in the early 70s. He was a really sound guy.
Those 2 Rowan lads could do something , one of them can play just about anything
The Wick Trio was a great band and Adie Harper was a real gentleman with a lovely sense of humour. I loved his playing and he did so much for Scottish music bringing the steel guitar into it for the first time.
Humour...he HAD.On one occasion they played on one of their many records the Hens March.And Addie smashing the bow on his fiddle.Tamtam tam tam tam tam,tadeleerum,tamtam etc.You remember?Addie had composed some good material and there was a fat link with Fergie McDonald.(e.g. the 6/8 Ness Bothan)
A brilliant piece of music i just love it.
Very. Good. By steven rumney

Where can I get this cd
Is no CD. It's an LP. BTW...Do you happen to be related to Edinburgh Moray Rumney,a friend of mine? (EMI STAL 2005 or 2006 or even 7,have to look it up,but check it in a valid EMI catalogue) Not all of the LP's ve been set over on CD.
Still enjoy even it is so different, lang mae yer lum reek !!
Loved it when they played in Broadford on the Isle of Skye
Wick to Broadford - now that would be one truly beautiful drive along the A9 I imagine.
We're can I get. A. Cd off yours
