Jimmy Shand - The Bluebell Polka free for downloading

Grew up listening to this in the late 1960s and 70s. Ah memories.

Goodbye grandad our memories will live on and I will never forget you grandad aka Jimmy Shand I will always love u and I know how to play the accordion now and I play your one love you x

This is not my kind of music (I am a performer of jazz and a house DJ), but Jimmy Shand has my greatest respect. He played for about 60 years, and, his music brought pleasure to a lot of people. It sounds bright and cheerful, and is very evocative. Everything is flawlessly executed. Look at him in this video. Almost motionless and detached, yet this music is pouring out. Five stars out of five. Will Justin Bieber, or Britney Spears perform for 60 years?

I remember his music at family parties as far back as the late 1940s..

I'm only in my twenties but this tune takes me back to Scottish country dancing in school. Surely ever Scottish schoolchild has the same memories.

And I have got his accordion in my room !!!

Without any doubt Jimmy Shand today was and will always will be the number one in the UK and the rest of the world,god bless you Jimmy Shand.

Rip sir Jimmy shand I visited your grave and sculpture in your hometown..

a great musician and a man of style.........

Jimmy was once staying in a guest house. He asked the landlady for some honey for his bread. She brought him a tiny pot of honey. Jimmy's comment was "Ah Mrs, I see that you keep a bee!"

I fell asleep every night as a child listening to Jimmy Shand...R.I.P. Jimmy.   Beautiful music from Scotland the brave.

Even though I'm English I love this tune

I can always remember my mother doris lightfoot,( my best friend in the whole wide world) telling me when she took me to a dance in dumfrieshire, jimmy shand was playing there with his band, and me being the youngest in the hall that night gave my mam a 10 shilling note, at the ripe old age of one year old.

We will never see his like again just perfect

I am now of the opinion that this should be Scotland's national anthem, but then again, I've had too much to drink. Sometimes though it's at times like this that the best ideas come through. Christ, it would confuse the world if we had it.

What can one say, Jimmy was my idol, and I followed him all over  Scotland, and I could still dance to him today, and I'm 84

CERTIFIED BELTER!!!!!

I remember this from the 1950's......Jimmy Shand was a legend, and still is.

Wow my dad used to put this on in his ford corsair when I was a kid!

Jimmy Shand is brilliant. Discovered his music by buying old LPs from the market. His albums always stood out, superb musician.
