THE BEST MUSIC FROM SCOTLAND

CHARLIE KIRKPATRICK

Charlie & the Band at a recording for Radio Scotland's 'Take the Floor' in Clydebank Town Hall on 6th November 2002

Charlie, born and brought up in Iona, the famous island to the west of Mull started playing the accordion at an early age.
He made his debut album away back in the early eighties and about the same time formed his own band and started broadcasting for Radio Scotland's regular Saturday night programme - Take the Floor.
Very popular as a trio or a quartet at ceilidhs, weddings, accordion clubs and the like all around Scotland.
Charlie is a strong believer that communication through music is vitally important. There's no dance Charlie plays where the audience sits down. You can bet your boots they are up dancing!
He's a master of his craft as far as that's concerned and is respected throughout Scotland as an expert on the '3-row Chromatic' accordion.
