"Graeme Mitchell & His Band: In Full Swing" CD GAR 001
"Graeme Mitchell formed his own band in 1982 and three of the original band members still play in the band. They have broadcasted regularly and have made three commercial recordings the most recent of which, is August 2003 which was recorded before a live dancing audience to commemorate the 21st anniversary of the band. They are in great demand for ceilidh dances, weddings, old time dances and accordion club appearances. On a regular basis they play mostly in the North of Scotland but do some gigs in the Edinburgh and Border area. It is also a highlight for the band to make appearances in Shetland and the Western Isles occasionally.
For bigger venues, recordings and broadcasts the band becomes a 6 piece with the addition of Fiddle and Piano, namely Susan Mackintosh and Neil Macmillan respectively.
Graeme has many fine compositions, most of which are published in the book "Graeme Mitchell's Collection". Indeed he was commissioned recently by the BBC to compose a tune for Robbie Shepherd to mark his 21 years as presenter of the programme "Take the Floor" and as recognition of his MBE award."
Publication: "Graeme Mitchell's Collection"
~ 40 original compositions for accordion, fiddle and bagpipes collected over the past 25 years, 37 pages, A4 paperback, Marquis Music, 1998...

There's another one for you two 'unnamed' souls out there growing impatient with me. I am working on your requests, honestly...

"Oonie" ~ the 'Who' & the 'Why' of it???
I forgot to ask, as I wasn't able to find out who "Oonie" is, for anyone with that information it would be welcomed here... At least I'd like to know who Mr. Mitchell named this for, and definitely the 'why' as well as the 'who', if anyone knows...
