David Buchanan

David began playing the piano at the age of 7 and then learned to play the accordion in the school Scottish Country Dance Band - The Forth Bridges Dance Band - when at school in South Queensferry (just outside Edinburgh, famous for its 3 bridges). In addition to playing for ceilidhs in both Scotland and England over the past 40 years, David also plays the bagpipes and the guitar and has performed for many Burns Suppers/Scottish events, with sing-along community singing at the heart of these functions. David also plays accordion in the Irish band Shenanigan and is comfortable playing popular songs when the opportunity arises to give variety to any function. On accordion or piano:) David also plays bagpipes for any occasion. Funerals and weddings tend to be the norm but any other occasion e.g. a marriage proposal on Brighton Beach playing 'Someone You Love' by Lewis Capaldi (yes was on the bagpipes!) can be accommodated. I try to work with church organists too when the opportunity arises and have managed to play Highland Cathedral a fair few times working with the organist as the bride comes down the aisle.
