Iain MacKintosh
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Iain MacKintosh (born 20 July 1932, Glasgow, Scotland) was a Scottishsongwriter and singer. He was born as the only son among three sisters of a clockmaker–goldsmith. At the age of seven he began to study Scotch pipes.
His mother died when he was 12.
He started his working life as an apprentice in his father's workshop.
In his mid-20s he visited a concert of Pete Seeger in Glasgow which impressed him. The next day he bought a banjo and started to exercise. He dived into the newly developing Scottish music scene and discovered also his own style. In 1960, at the age of 28, he founded his first band The Islanders. For another 10 years he played in different bands, as The Skerries and The Other Half.
Finally in 1970 he gave up his father's shop after 10 years running it with his wife Sadie, and began as a soloist to play and sing, touring around Europe. He became later one of the leading figures of Tønder Festival.
MacKintosh died on 28 June 2006[1], after losing his fight against throat cancer and Parkinson's disease
