The promoters of the John MacLellan, Dunoon, tribute website: We are once again approaching two important dates in Jock’s life, his passing on July 31, 1949, and his birth on August 8, 1875
To commemorate these dates a special playlist has been created on Spotify. Its title, ‘Bonnie Dunoon, My Home Town’, comes from two of Jock’s popular tunes.
It features various artists, pipe bands and groups perfoming Jock’s tunes including Cowal Gathering, the song ‘Freedom, Come All Ye’ (which features the tune The Bloody Fields of Flanders), The Road to the Isles, My Home Town and Lochanside to name a few.
Artists featured include Oban Gaelic Choir, Stuart Cassells, Skipinnish, Toronto Police Pipe Band, Blazin’ Fiddles, opera star Pumeza Matshikiza, Griogair Labhruidh, the Glasgow Pheonix Choir and many more.
Check out our website for Jock here and the new playlist here.
