Gordon Pattullo
Gordon from Tullybaccart near Coupar Angus, was something of a child protégé. He received the bulk of his musical tuition from the late Jim Marshall, with the polishing touches added by John Huband and Louis Cabrelli. At only 13 he won the Junior Traditional Section at Perth Festival. In 1977, Jimmy Blue introduced Gordon to Andy Stewart, which led to a whole host of engagements – the first being an eight-week tour of Canada and America. His skills were such that he soon became not just Andy’s accordionist, but his Musical Director. For the next ten years Gordon was involved in theatre shows almost every week. Gordon has had many engagements abroad – mostly as a solo artiste, however he had two memorable trips to Abu Dhabi with The Jim Johnstone Band and went to the Lorient Festival in France with The Angus Cameron Band. Gordon also has many fine compositions to his credit. He currently plays at the summer season at The King James Hotel in Edinburgh.
