 The Jimmy Blair Accordion Orchestra (MD Gary Blair) performs music for a ceilidh on Friday June 8th, 7.30pm to 11.30pm, at the Masonic Hall, Queen St, Renfrew PA4 8TR, Scotland.The Jimmy Blair Accordion Orchestra has a history dating back to the early 1970s. During the 1970s, the orchestra was a dominant force in the All Britain Accordion Championships, winning competitions in all orchestra sections and many of the band members won group, duet and solo sections. The band also played many concerts, including visits France, Belgium and Canada. With the untimely death of Jimmy Blair in 1981, the band was taken over by his wife Lola, until she also died a few years later.
