The motion

That the Parliament notes the 100th anniversary of the birth of Sir Jimmy Shand on 28 January 2008; further notes that Sir Jimmy’s career included composing more than 300 tunes and playing for Her Majesty The Queen and inspired a life-size statue in his home town of Auchtermuchty; recognises him as one of Scotland’s greatest ever accordionists; congratulates the 100 musicians who took part in a four-hour concert in Windygates on 20 January, and hopes that similar events planned to mark Sir Jimmy’s anniversary are equally successful.
