Gordon Easton is from the Blackhills of Tyrie near Fraserburgh, where his family has crofted for generations.

He learned many of his old songs from his mother and grandmother, and is well-known for his fiddle, jew’s harp and moothie playing, not to mention his considerable skills as a diddler.

At the age of 84 he has recorded this, his first CD. In recent years he has become a fixture on the festival competition scene, sometimes entering as many as five competitions.

In 2004 he was made an honorary life member of the TMSA. In 2007 he was a guest at the Whitby Folk Week.
