News / Three Molsky concerts
AMERICAN multi-instrumentalist and singer Bruce Molsky will team up with top Shetland talent at three concerts later this week.
Molsky will open the run of gigs at the Baltasound Hall in Unst on Friday 15 May with fiddle ensemble Haltadans, the Baltasound Junior High School Young Fiddlers and Steven Spence also due to perform.
The old-time US fiddler will then visit the Muckle Roe Hall the following night with Lynda Anderson, mandolinist Kenny Johnson and singer Sheila Henderson on the bill.
The trio of dates will conclude on Sunday at Mareel with Anderson and Johnson again in tow, whilst the Shetland Heritage Fiddlers, Freda Leask and Norman ‘Girsie’ Goudie will also perform.
The events are being presented by Shetland Arts in conjunction with Davie Gardner’s Atlantic Edge Music Services.
Gardner said: “His previous visits here proved to be hugely successful, not only because of his own terrific and very diverse musical talents and warm, engaging personality, but also due to the wonderful joint collaborations those visits created alongside our own local musicians.
“These gigs will once again not only showcase his own exceptional musical talents, but also continue that exciting local musical association.
“I very much look forward to what will happen in that particular respect this time around.”
Tickets are on sale at Shetland Box Office now.
