Well-known Inverness local personality Dougie MacDougall has finally brought out, after much demand, his debut album of favourite accordion tunes, at the ripe old age of 88! Packed full of great tunes, along with some of his own fantastic compositions, the album is a bonanza of Scottish traditional music, with twenty tracks including jigs, reels, polkas, waltzes, marches and slow airs, plus a set led by Dougie on the pipes and a beautiful song sung by his granddaughter. With a foreword by legendary button box player, Freeland Barbour, the accompanying booklet features beautiful photos of the Alturlie and Inverness area, a short biography of Dougie?s amazing life, and full track details, including photos of all the guest musicians.
