A world renowned button key accordionist and composer, known for his unique style in highland traditional ceilidh music. Unable to read or write music, Fergie broke away from ‘Scottish Country Dance Music’ in the early 60s and went on to popularise and introduce his own unique style of highland traditional ceilidh music.

Due to this popularity, fans and fellow musicians affectionately gave Fergie the title ‘The Ceilidh King’. A career spanning over 70 years, with over 50 albums/singles, hundreds of compositions, the world famous ‘Jig Runrig’ being one of them, a book about his life published in 2005 and a life achievement in writing a book about his father’s first hand experience as a sniper in WW1 are just a few of his lifetime accomplishments.
