Fergie MacDonald - The Ceilidh King
Traditional Scottish Ceilidh Music Played on The Button Accordian

Fergie MacDonald, who play the button accordian, has given the world ceilidh music. He has a background in crofting, hunting, poaching, fishing, whisky making, fighting peat cutting and also talks Gaelic. Geals define a ceilidh as a meeting of a few friends in a thatched croft house. Music, singing, dancing and romance are the main ingredients. Traditional ceilidh music is at the heart of everything that Fergie MacDonald is about, but he also has a great sense of humour as he demonstrates in his off the wall calendar for 2012. His albums Ciilidh House, Jiggy Jig, A Blast From The Past, The Ceilidh King, Live from Lochinver and Live from Achiltbuie are available to buy and either download or receive an autographed copy via post. His latest album Connections is also now available online. Fergie MacDonald and the rest of the band can be heard at anytime via cd, or when you visit scotland remember to look him up and experience his type of ceilidh music live.

NEW CD RELEASE OCTOBER 2009
You remember last year I produced a BBC Scotland live recording from Lochinver in Sutherland.  It was such a treat for my fans worldwide that I approached BBC Scotland to see if they would release some tracks from a Ceilidh Dance which was recorded in Achiltibuie Village Hall, Ross-Shire.  As usual, the hall was packed and the atmosphere was electric.  What a night.  I really did not think that the BBC would grant permission to release tracks from another one of their live broadcasts. The good news is "They did".  I am over the moon about this.  Fantastic news for my fans.

This BBC Broadcast features John and myself on lead Button Accordions, with Allan Henderson on Fiddle. The 'line-up' also includes Alistair McCuish, Hugh MacCallum, Addie Harper, Iain MacFarlane, Gordon Middler and my daughter Morven Anne.

The release date is the 15th of October at the National Mod In Oban. You can catch up with me at 'The Rowan Tree Hotel' during that week.

Shops in Scotland will have it of course, but as usual you can order it at fergie@fergiemacdonald.co.uk or via my website.

I think it is as good as "Live from Lochinver"- if not better.  You will love it.

Fergie
