One of Shetland's most exciting live acts, Fiddlers' Bid no longer need any introduction and here they follow up their acclaimed album 'Hamnataing' with their third offering intriguingly entitled 'Da Farder Ben Da Welcomer'.
Again it is an eclectic mix of raging reels (Da Shalds and The Pumping Bass) and ambient airs (Leaving Lerwick Harbour and The Swan). The fiddle interplay is, as always, outstanding and the album has received critical appraisal in many national newspapers. Need we say more.
12 tracks by a Shetland band who have had success across the world. Tracks include Yarmin Yowes Return, Zander the Sander, Leaving Lerwick Harbour and The Swan (LK243)
Sheila Henderson was a nominee in no less than three categories in the 1999 British Country Music Awards: for British Female Vocalist, Rising Star and Album. Tracks include Tell Me Why, Call It Fate and Diamond In My Crown. Also available on cassette.
From the legendary fiddler Willie Hunter, 'Leaving Lerwick Harbour' is the last album he recorded before his death. Willie is accompanied by Violet Tulloch on piano.
