MacGregor's Barn Kinlochard Andrew Gordon's music features a rich mix of traditional and contemporary Scottish songs. Some Irish, Canadian and English tunes also make it into the set. Folkingcool.co.uk said there was something compelling about Andrew’s music and passion while singing. Fellow musician Brian Higgins has always been a fan of the “robust” rhythms on both guitar and bodhran that Andrew uses to accompany his distinctive and passionate singing. Andrew himself is well known for thinking that one of the reasons audiences get behind his music is that he “gives it some welly”.
