Alastair McDonald – Vocals and Banjo

 

Alastair is one of Scotland’s most loved, most talented and most versatile showbiz personalities.

 

A highly renowned international performer, singer, song-writer, recording artist and broadcaster - Alastair often humbly describes himself as a "banjo player".

 

But his fellow musicians recognise him as the hottest banjo player around belying all those anti-banjo stories with which Alastair often entertains his audiences. This talent was recognised as far back as 1962 when he scooped the best banjoist award at the North of Scotland Jazz Festival.

 

Alastair McDonald has been a performer on a full time basis since 1972 and has built up a successful career not only in his native Scotland, but on numerous occasions has been invited to take his own style of musical entertainment to locations as diverse as USA, Canada, Germany, Denmark, Israel, Thailand, East Africa, the Arab Emirates and even Auchtermuchty.

 

Alastair`s radio & TV credits are too numerous to list here, as are his record releases, but his vast range of recorded material can be viewed at  : http://stores.ebay.co.uk/Corban-Recordings
