Fiddle Frenzy, part of Creative Connections, started this afternoon (Monday) with students from around the world registering and getting stuck straight into lessons from some of Shetland's finest musicians.
The day will finish with a family dance, with music from the Jim Halcrow Band, and a late night music session back at the Garrison Theatre (this year's festival club) to allow participants to relax and get to know each other before the week of intensive tuition, concerts and activities.
