Ron Kerr's musical career has been remarkable. It started at the age of nine, when he commenced study of the violin at the Dundee School of Music, where he later studied theory and keyboard harmony. When he was eleven he had his first BBC engagement on Children's Hour on which he appeared many times over the next few years, culminating in a BBC National TV appearance on the programme ALL Your Own on 6 February 1955. The broadcast was from the famous Studio E at Limegrove, London with hosts, Huw Weldon and Cliff Michelmore, and Ron was accompanied by the Steve Race Orchestra.

In the seventies he appeared as a session musician on almost a hundred ITV shows called Scotch Corner which starred Andy Stewart, but his most recent television appearance was on BBC's First Light programme.

He did not miss out on the film scene either as he not only appeared in MGM's film Country Dance featuring Peter O'Toole and Susannah York, but he was involved in the sound track as well.

Ron is, of course, well known to many as a band musician. During the seventies and eighties he led the very popular Cameron-Kerr Trio, which had many residencies including The Fiddlers, Monikie. During this period he also played Double-Bass / Bass Guitar and Piano-accordion. In his national service years he played weekends at The Scottish Club, in Fetter Lance, London, a venue which was very popular until its destruction in the early seventies.

Over the years he has had musical associations with many of the household names of Scottish music. The list is impressive and includes Jimmy Blue, Robert Black, Bill Black, Bobby Crowe, Rob Gordon, Jim Grogan, Simon Howie, John Husband, Jim Johnstone, Jim Lindsay, Iain MacPhail, Jim Macleod, Andrew Rankine, Lindsay Ross, Arthur Spink among others.
