The Tunes of Gideon Stove
Thomas Stove
Thomas Stove
Gideon Stove, born in 1874, was indisputably the foremost Shetland
fiddler, violinist and composer of tunes throughout his lifetime.
Entirely self-taught, he courageously gave up his trade as a baker in
1909 to make a living from his musical abilities through teaching and
playing for dancing. Over four decades he gave violin lessons to
hundreds of Lerwick children and played for public dances in the days
when a fiddler and a pianist – unamplified – were all that was needed
for a good night’s enjoyment. Equally accomplished in the classical
violin repertoire he led local orchestras for many years and his solo
performances at concerts were always acclaimed.
