Other than being a Ceilidh Accordionist he also plays classical music and has competed in many classical competitions and placed first in many of the national competitions. Iain Anderson has been playing drums for the last 8 years and has had experience in many musical ensembles. He started playing in the local BB Marching Band performing at many events including a tour of Canada, and then progressed to play in many high school bands including concert bands, jazz band and orchestra. Graeme Richmond is the newest member of the band and plays the accordion. He brings a wealth of talent having been successful in many national competitions over the years and gaining successful entry to the Royal Scottish Academy Of Music and Drama. Gordon Turner plays both the drums and the guitar. He has been playing the drums since he was 9 years old and has played in a variety of school and local authority school orchestras.
