The Ian Powrie Band, with Jimmy Blue and accordionist Mickey Ainsworth helping to create its signature sound, became a popular attraction, travelling all over Scotland and racking up thousands of miles in a car Ian described as ‘a monstrosity’ before acquiring more sophisticated transport.
After building a huge following, the band got its first big break when Robert Wilson, whose Personal Appearance programme regularly featured Ian’s band, recommended Ian to his recording manager, George Martin, later to become synonymous with The Beatles.
The first recording of Ian’s that the future fifth Beatle oversaw, Bothy Ballads for the Gay Gordons, became a best seller and when the band turned professional in 1960 it became one of the mainstays on BBC Television’s iconic White Heather Club, appearing on eighty-six of its one hundred-show run. Ian also became musical director for entertainer Andy Stewart, branching out into pop music and touring Canada, New Zealand and Australia, where, in 1966, Ian started a business and decided to settle down with his family.
Once in Australia any thoughts of retiring from music disappeared and Ian became much in demand, both as a fiddler and as a judge of fiddle competitions in America and Canada.
In 1986 Ian returned to Scotland and continued to delight his many admirers with his fiddle playing until, in 1999, at the age of seventy-six he decided finally to retire, still a master of his beloved Scottish slow airs.
Ian died on the 5th October 2011.
