Summary

Tom Anderson plays two traditional Shetland tunes on the fiddle: 'Da Craw Dang Pussy' and 'Da Wattle o't'.

This is followed by a discussion on how notes or phrases within a tune are stressed to suit the dance steps. Fragments of other reels are played by way of illustration: 'Come Again Ye're Welcome' and 'Lucky Can You Link Ony'.

Item Notes

'Da Wattle o't' is said to be a protest tune about high tax payments.
