MY BIOGRAPHY

Home

I got my first accordion in 1950 when I was 5 years old. Played accordion for many years and took up the organ in 1965. The 'group' era had begun and my interest moved to the 'pop' music of the day and I played guitar in a group called the 'Beetles' - alas not the real ones. First liaison with Ian Muir was in 1980 when I produced and engineered Ian's first solo recording - 'Ian Muir's Welcome'. Now I mainly play drums with the trio but for broadcasts and bigger functions it's the 2nd accordion.
Following about 12 years producing albums under the Ayrespin label, I set up Bryan'sRoom in 1991 and have produced some twenty five or so albums since.
By day I work as a Sales Manager with an engineering company -
GPS VJ Fabricators - supplying pipes and fittings to the Water Industry. Jean and I were married in 1965 and have two sons Bryan and Kevin.

My accordion is a straight tuned Hohner Morino vintage 1960, the lVM model which has 'domino' couplers. It is very good for the 2nd accordion style of a Scottish Dance Band.
I play keyboards and favour Korg. I have a Korg i3 and an ix300.
My drum kit is a Mapex 'V' Series.
