About Shetland Fiddle Week
The Shetland fiddle tradition
Shetland's fiddle tradition dates back hundreds of years with influences from across the North Atlantic. Lively reels, jigs, waltzes and slow airs have passed generation to generation, and are now recognised and played by traditional musicians across the world. Shetland Fiddle Week has been put together by two Shetland fiddlers, Jenna Reid and Lynda Anderson.
What is Shetland Fiddle Week?
Shetland Fiddle Week offers a week of fiddle classes suitable for all abilities, teaching the unique Shetland fiddle style and tunes. Delivered in the beautiful Shetland Islands themselves, the week offers students a chance to absorb Shetland's musical culture and heritage and meet members of the thriving musical community. Concerts and sessions will also take place across the week.
