Do you know of any others?
Yes! Afraid I've missed the development of this list so far, but Paul Connolly (who played in a band with me in the early 1990s and still lives/works/plays in Lochaber) ought to be on any list of Scots players of the English concertina...
Excellent Peter, thanks!

On the downside, I had to remove the name
Oscar St Cyr, because I learned, only today, that this was just a pseudonym for a player whose name is already on our list. However, I'm delighted to be able to add the name
Paul Connolly, which keeps our total at 80 players in Scotland today.
