Russell Torrance's accent

Why do I imagine that I can hear a Scots brogue in Mr Torrance's pleasant speech ? It doesn't sound Mancunian to me. 2001:8003:1C0E:0:4988:6638:BEF5:AF52 (talk) 00:53, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because:

"He is known to musicians as 'the Scotsman ... " [1]
"[His] family are ... from Scotland" [2]

If we can find a more explicit reference, we could update the article to mention his origins/heritage. Mitch Ames (talk) 01:26, 30 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
