It’s impossible to know where to start when talking about Fergie MacDonald. The man, the myth, the legend. It was always an absolute privilege to be in his company—to sit beside him on and offstage, hear him play, listen to his stories and learn what mischief he had been up to will forever live on as some of my favorites.
Everybody that knew him have their own stories of Fergie, and each and every one of those stories end with everyone laughing out loud. He truly was a one-off.
Musically he transcended generations and always brought people together.
His music has been celebrated all across the world and his love for tunes and tune-writing will certainly leave a legacy in the traditional music world. There is barely a dance or a session that doesn’t have at least one Fergie tune played at some point, and don’t get me started on the songwriting!
