Broon's Blethers
The talk on bygone days by the author of ‘Brocht Up In The Country – An Agribiography’ ranged beyond the parish to his exploits in the Angus Glens, the city of Dundee and on a fishing trip to Orkney. After dismantling his button key accordion to demonstrate that it was in effect three mouth organs blown by bellows, he reassembled it and played a tune named in honour of an Orkney farmer.
