At least 10 people did the same, presumably influenced by him deciding he wasn't so dying after all and discharging himself from his hospice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone for a slightly younger team this year and as he was a popular pick anyway there would be no Brucie bonus points. My high risk strategy isn't paying off, who'd have thunk it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florentine_Pogen Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 All life has been squeezed out of Fergie MacDonald, renowned buttonbox player. Fergie MacDonald MBE (24 April 1937 – 23 April 2024) was a Scottish accordionist who specialised in ceilidh music and played the button accordion. A trained physiotherapist and an international clay pigeon shooter, MacDonald is considered[1] to be the man who popularised the West Highland style of traditional Scottish dance music. Life and career Born in Glasgow, Scotland on 24 April 1937, he was brought up in Moidart. MacDonald topped the Scottish Singles Chart in 1966 with his tune "Loch Maree Islands". He was initially banned from appearing on the BBC due to the traditional audition process, but later became a regular feature on BBC Radio Scotland and BBC Radio nan Gaidheal. MacDonald toured throughout the world and released 23 albums. He was well known through the tales told by fellow Scottish accordionist Phil Cunningham as part of his stage act. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While he kept his spot I foolishly got rid of Dave Myers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
