Oban Accordion & Fiddle Club – 25th Anniversary
by A. McFadyen
Thursday, 5th November, was a very special evening for our Club – it was our 25th Anniversary.
Our Club Chairperson, Hector McFadyen, welcomed everyone and especially those who travelled from afar to be with us. Our guests for the evening were Alistair Hunter and his son Russell on fiddle and daughter Eileen on piano. Eileen also sand the famous ‘Hills of Lorne’ written by her grandfather Charlie – what a talented family. Alistair opened the very first Club night and it was lovely to have him return for our special night.
Players for the evening (too many to mention individually) came from as far as Inverness, Dunoon, Lochgilphead, Inveraray, Balloch and even Colonsay.
At the break the cake was piped in by Benderloch’s Angus McColl and cut by one of our most loyal members, Mary Reid. Everyone was then treated to a piece of cake and a glass of wine. A big thank you must go to Ewen Cameron from Combie St. Catering who kindly donated the cake.
Everyone took to the stage at the end for a stramash to round off a tremendous night enjoyed by all.
