Wonderful memories of loving Shetland music when i discovered it in my 40's and 50's. Now 78, I'm delighted to see the great VioLet Tulloch at the piano. I used to love her playing, also Peerie Willie Johnson on guitar. So grateful when i spent a couple of visits to Shetland to spend a day with Peerie Willie, mostly at the Lounge in Lerwick. Thank you Ali Bain for making my musical journey complete with your great fiddle playing.

one of the greatest fiddle players that came out of Scotland

I met Willie at Aberdeen Airport a month before he died. I was with Violet Tulloch with whom I flew from Lerwick. I was a huge fan of both. I didn't recognise Willie but Violet saw him and spoke to him. She asked how he was. His answer left us in no doubt he had little time left.

Absolutely brilliant! Three top class musicians.

Just listened to this again after forgetting about it for a while. Absolutely perfect performance, one of the very best.

It doesn't get any better than this...

Omg Brilliant Performance Guys Well Done

What a star well all 3 of them None of this ceilidh stuff missing beats or off beat stuff , Greatly missed

Must be one of the very best recordings ever. It has everything, beautiful ensemble and harmonies and Willie's interpretation is totally brilliant, his feeling and light and shade. I sincerely wish we had more great recordings of those three great musicians together!

Willie Hunter and I were in the same class of Apprentice

Shetland fiddle music at it very, very best.

Pure class, look at the expression on Aly's face!

This guy is the best I’ve ever heard.

No problem. I love this performance, tremendous fiddling from one of the best!

One of the most beautiful tunes I've ever heard.

So lovely.

Beautiful

This is beautiful. I'm learning to play The Love O' Da Isles at the moment. If I sounded a quarter as good as this I'd be a very happy fiddler!

I've heard an audio recording of Willie Hunter playing 'The Love O' Da Isles', but this is the first video I have seen of him playing it. Thanks for sharing.
