"An accordionist with attitude as well as loads of talent....frequently wild and hairy"
Folk Roots Magazine

"Sandy proves to have virtuosity in abundance, not only in his playing, but also in his ability to write a cracking tune"
Folk On Tap



"This man is going to make a big impact on the traditional and not-so-traditional music scenes with his funky accordion, catchy compositions and refreshing personality. Spirited powerful playing of equally spirited and powerful tunes"
The Scots Magazine




"If you want to hear what an accordion can do in the right hands, put it in the right and left hands of Sandy Brechin - but be prepared for some surprises! Mr Brechin writes some exceedingly strange tunes, and shifts between styles with unusual abandon, but it nearly always works well. As Norman Chalmers said in a Radio Scotland review, "He's a very lucid, sane person, given that he's a complete loony."
