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.

How beautiful - blows me away! I was born in Shetland but have travelled far and wide since then and have ended up in Paris. Fun fact: my dad and Aly Bain had their tonsils removed at the same time many decades ago in Shetland and were next to each other in the hospital ward :) They were in the same peer group later - my dad was also quite tasty on the fiddle! I love the fact that young guys in Shetland in the 50s and 60s got together to play the fiddle like young guys in later generations with their guitars :) My dad's life took a non-musical turn thereafter, but he still likes closing his eyes and having a good toe-tap to Shetland fiddle music :)

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. It was the only time I met him.

Willie Hunter and I were in the same class of Apprentice Blacksmiths at Ramsay Technical College Edinburgh in 1949/50 and I still remember thinking that HE will not finish his trade as a Blacksmith he'll turn to the Fiddle for sure..Charlie Slater ,Retired now in Australia
