[Alex MacDonald, coordinator, Between Islands]
What better way to start the week than with some lively music from the Shetland Islands!The varying styles of fiddle music played in the Northern and Western isles was the subject of our second Between Islands concert, so we have asked the participants to record some individual island pieces especially for the online project. First up is Maggie Adamson with a trio of Shetland tunes.
You may also be interested in viewing the lecture given by Dr Andrew Jennings of Shetland UHI for Museum nan Eilean recently. It’s on the subject of Hebrideans in the Sagas and can be found here.
Also, this years Orkney storytelling festival now has lots of great pieces online for you to enjoy:
