The Shetland Islands are well known for their unique fi ddle tradition which dates back hundreds of years, infl uenced by Scandanavian and Scottish styles. The tunes carry a distinctive rhythm with a repertoire of older melodies, as well as many more modern compositions by the likes of Shetland musicians Tom Anderson and Ronnie Cooper in the 1980s, to Ross Couper and Chris Stout more recently. With the Shetland community spread over 100 islands and almost 100 miles north to south, regional styles developed giving rise to association of some tunes with particular areas of Shetland. With the introduction of traditional fi ddle lessons in Shetland’s schools in the early 1980s, primarily due to the determination of player, teacher and historian Dr Tom Anderson to preserve a fading tradition, the popularity of fi ddle remains strong in Shetland today, with many young players continuing to emerge.

While the Shetland fi ddle tradition was once only to be heard local houses, or community gatherings, in more recent times Shetland fi ddle players have graced stages worldwide, working as professional musicians and generating new found interest in Shetland tunes. Such names include Aly Bain, Jenna Reid, Chris Stout and Catriona Macdonald.

Fiddle Frenzy offers the unique opportunity to learn the tunes and style of this unique tradition within the Shetland Islands themselves. Isolated far off the north east coast of Scotland, and as close to Norway, Shetland is famed also for Fair Isle knitting, ponies, puffi ns, geology, archeology, beautiful sandy beaches and landscapes, offering a rich experience of culture and history which we encourage our students to explore.

Kris Drever’s voice and guitar forms part of the backbone of today’s contemporary roots scene. Widely admired as a solo artist, collaborator, and member of folk superstars Lau, he is a phenomenal and prolifi c artist.

Becoming ‘Best Newcomer’ at the 2007 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards was a beginning of sorts for the Orcadian singer-songwriter, however, his journey was already far from its musical origins: growing up on Orkney brought its own inspirations, but somewhat inevitably, it was his father, Ivan Drever, of folk-rockers Wolfstone, who fi rst sparked Kris’s imagination – just like Dad, he turned to the guitar to power his melodies, and found himself involved in jam sessions far and wide.

Now living in Shetland, Kris will be joined by a collection of musical friends from the islands.

Andrew Gifford & Grant Nicol will also perform. Andrew is a member of Shetland fi ddle supergroup Fiddlers’ Bid, who have performed together for over 20 years and continue to play around the world. Andrew has performed solo at Fiddle Frenzy previously and is always a delight to listen to with a varied mix of traditional tunes, including some of this own compositions. He will be accompanied by guitarist Grant Nicol of Fullsceilidh Spelemanslagg and Haltadans.
