Alex Little
(1927 - 2001)
As a close friend of Max Houliston, Alex was involved in Accordion & Fiddle Clubs from almost the very start at The Hole in the Wa’ in April 1965. The honorary “MC” which Max attached to his name, in the jig he wrote for him, was in recognition of his outstanding abilities as a “Master of Ceremonies”. He was also closely involved with Gretna, Langholm and Lockerbie Clubs which started shortly after Dumfries, and with the formation of the NAAFC. After the business at NAAFC Executive Committee meetings had been attended to, when the tea and sandwiches were being passed round, Alex would regale his colleagues with an endless stream of jokes and stories. Alex was also the founder Chairman of our “NAAFC Festival Committee” combining his talents for organising, compering and encouraging youngsters to give of their best. He and his Sub Committee created a solid foundation which continues to this day.
