A celebration of the best young fiddlers and fiddle bands on Shetland today.
An eclectic mix of unaccompanied fiddle and thick fiddle harmonies, duos and bands all played with drive and imagination. The standard of fiddle playing is exceptional, partly due to the dedicated teaching of the legendary late Willie Hunter and Dr Tom Anderson whose influences are evident and whose pupils are a credit to their memory

Filska
Filska
Third album from Shetland young band.
"Filska...scintillating set of instrumentals - the highlight of the evening. Their focus on fiddle supplied by Jenna Reid, Gemma Wilson and Bethany Reid, who doubled on keyboards with Andrew Tulloch's driving guitar, gave their sound a streamlined core, delivered with intense energy and precision"

Beyond The Stacks
Aly Bain and Ale Möller
Aly Bain and Ale Möller
Another beautiful combination of Aly Bain's Shetland fiddle style with the mandola, harmonica and Jews harp of Scandinavian musician Ale Möller.
"Not yet as well-known as Aly's collaboration with Phil Cunningham, but musically it is on a similar level, and is unmistakably the sound of two masters at work. Bain's playing on both fiddles and viola is simply superb, whether on up-tempo reels and jigs or achingly lovely slow airs. His highly expressive melody playing, impeccable phrasing, acute rhythmic sense and his signature nuances of bowing and accenting all combine in peerless fashion, and Möller is an ideal partner in their jointly-arranged explorations of the selected tunes."
