"I'm sure you'll get many, many
responses telling you that the ban was Jimmy Shand's - with Sir
Jimmy in the forefront. There is an imposing statue of him in
his home village of Auchtermuchty.
There is a picture of this statue on the
Wikipedia page for
Jimmy Shand."

"The
accordion player was
Jimmy Shand who came from Auchtermuchty Fife. He was famous in
the 1950s and 1960s for Scottish reels, etc. It could be
his band or perhaps he was playing as a guest."
