About Matthew Maclennan

I have been a professional musician since 2011 and I started playing the accordion in 1993.

My music has taken my all over the UK and beyond from music festivals in Shetland to weddings in Hampshire, Caledonian societies in Kenya to weddings in France.

In 2017 I was crowned All Scotland Accordion Champion at the Perth Accordion Festival.
I'd been competing for over 20 years by that point and had won everything in the Scottish accordion competition scene.

Since 2009 my Scottish dance band have been performing regularly on BBC Radio Scotland's traditional music show "Take the Floor".

The band released an album entitled "Traditionally Inspired" back in 2014.
