Young, Local Talents Win Fiddler of the Year Awards

After a feast of fiddle playing at the Garrison Theatre over the weekend, there was awards to be scooped up by young, local Unst talent.

The honours went to Bryden Priest, who was named Shetland Young Fiddler of the Year 2015.

In the intermediate section, young George Spence won Traditional Intermediate Young Fiddler of the Year.

Congratulations to them both! A perfect showcase of the traditional music and local talent present on the island, both from the experienced and the younger generations.
