Timeline
John M. Mason, MBE (21 January 1940 – 22 January 2011) was a Scottish solicitor, musician, composer and conductor.
John M. Mason, MBE was born in Kirkwall, Scotland in 1940 to James and Tomima (Toza) Mason.
He attended Kirkwall Grammar School, before moving to Wigtown with his family after the war.
He then attended Douglas Ewert High School in Newton Stewart, and graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a law degree.
Both of Mason's parents were musicians, his father played the fiddle and his mother the piano, and he took up both instruments in childhood.
Upon his father's insistence, he left his fiddle at home while attending University so he could focus entirely on his studies, but he picked it up again during the summer holidays.
He joined the Mona Stewart Dance Band, and with them played at weddings and bookings all over southwest Scotland.
After his marriage in 1967, Mason moved to Troon, Scotland, where he took a position as a solicitor with Waddell & MacIntosh Solicitors.
He was soon invited to join the Kilmarnock Caledonian Strathspey and Reel Society, and in 1972, he helped in the formation of the Ayr and Prestwick Strathspey and Reel Society, for which he served as conductor.
He was the co-founder, musical director, and conductor of the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra from its creation in 1980 until his death in 2011.
Following this success, he co-founded the Scottish Fiddle Orchestra with fellow musician Gerry Crean in 1980.
In 1987, Mason received an MBE from Her Majesty the Queen for services to music.
Over his lifetime, Mason wrote more than 600 original compositions.
Below are some of his compositions from recordings.
He served as the musical director and principal conductor of the orchestra from its creation until his death in 2011.
Under John's leadership, the orchestra played concerts all over the United Kingdom, as well as a handful of international tours, in order to raise money for various charities.
Along with John's arrangements of traditional Scottish fiddle music, the orchestra continues to play many of John's original compositions, which numbered over 600.
