Your superior talent never forgotten from a Scottish Accordion player in Australia.

i heard will playing in north-uist western- isles in 1959,i have so much respect for his music,and such a gentleman he was,i play a similar instrument,will starr made it look so easy,,unbeatable.

Will Starr was one of Scotlands Proper gentleman and he would do almost anything for his friends and family.
Inever got the chance to meet him but through his music and stories my father has told me i wish i had the chance to meet him.Sleep in Peace will you will always be remembered as "THE DADDY OF THEM ALL".

As a button box player myself ive had the pleasure of hearing many good box players,but ive yet to hear one handle a box like will starr, with of course the exception of billy macguire who is as good, in my humble opinion

A one off

As a young boy learning to play the accordian Will Starr was an inspiration, I saw him play at Kinross Town Hall to a full house. I recently purchased a CD of him playing and listening to him again was just fantastic. Thank you for having this tribute to him.

I had the pleasure of listening to will Starr many years ago In the st Mungo hall In glasgow, It was a sell out. It was packed out i had to sit on the stage with other members of the audience I was so close to him I could touch him. I thought he was fantastic playing the last post among many others.

will starr was a fantastic player travelled a lot when i was a boy in the sixtys to here him play

A very fitting and appropriate tribute, thank you for doing this. Will died one year after I was born, but I have enjoyed, and continue to enjoy his music, now I am pleased to say my daugher of 18 months loves it too. As an accordionist - Will was a master!

Brilliant to see such a fitting tribute to Will on a site such as this. I had the pleasure of knowing Will over many years - Starting in the old Roxy Variety Theatre in Falkirk {not far from Will's home and a favourite venue for him} I feature his music regularly on my weekly radio show Radio Sunnyside - I have fond memories of many hours in his company over many years. A man with a great sense of humour and that wonderful "voice"
