Let's make this birthday one to remember.

71 years old (Born on November 26, 1953)

Happy Birthday, Ian Parker! Another year older and yet your fingers still dance on the keyboard faster than a Scotsman finding free whiskey. Whether crafting spellbinding melodies with Clannad or harmonizing beautifully with The Hollies, you've proven without a doubt that rock 'n' roll doesn't age—it just gets better riffs.

From electrifying concerts to soulful compositions, each note you've played has been timeless magic—a symphony not easily forgotten. May today be filled with laughter louder than your amplifiers and cake sweeter than achieving another chart-topper. Keep being legendary—after all, you're Scottish music’s finest gift since bagpipes learned volume control!
