William Hannah (1891-1961) was from Blackburn, some 20 miles west of Edinburgh. A postman by trade, he was also an influential melodeon player and band leader, releasing over a hundred commercial recordings in solo, duet, trio and band formats. His five-piece band was popular, and included melodeon, fiddle, drums, piano and trumpet, pre-echoing Jim Cameron's Band of later years. This compilation is from recordings in my own collection.
