Join us at the next session
We meet every week in Lerwick — all levels welcome, from first-time players to seasoned hands. Bring your fiddle and a tune.
The society year
How a typical season unfolds, from the first autumn sessions to the summer festival trips.
1
Weekly sessions begin
Sessions resume in Lerwick each autumn, with slow groups for learners and full tune sets for the experienced.

Winter tune-learning
Through the dark months we work through tunes from the archive, sharing transcriptions and Shetland bowings.
3
Spring concert
Members come together for an evening of Shetland and Norse-rooted tunes for the wider community.
4
Summer festival trips
We travel to folk festivals across the UK and Scandinavia to play, listen and meet fellow fiddlers.
