Robert Douglas Kerr
Happy to have escaped from his former career as a librarian, Robert has been freelancing as a musician since 1989. He leads Sounds Braw ceilidh band from the piano, and plays the clarsach for weddings and other functions. The tin whistle, flute and accordion come in useful for less formal occasions, including his solo concerts for the Council for Music in Hospitals.
Robert is also a baritone singer, and has sung principal roles with both Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy Gilbert and Sullivan Societies, in addition to being a member of Edinburgh Grand Opera chorus in several productions.
Based in Dunfermline, he is the Organist and Director of Music at Limekilns Parish Church on the Forth coast.
Piano tuning is a useful sideline to his more creative musical activities.
Robert’s other interests include wildlife, and the natural world inspires many of his compositions.
He hopes you like the tunes below. The jig, Arran Ale, is a dance tune so for best effect put the tempo slider up to maximum!
