Led by experienced and well-respected musicians Harris Playfair and Margaret Robertson, alongside local music teachers, the course is open to all 11-26 year old Shetland musicians - drummers, bassists, brass players, fiddlers, guitarists, percussionists, pianists…. the more the merrier! The programme promises fun and action-packed days learning new music and new approaches to music, including ways to be creative with traditional approaches. Shetland Arts and Creative Scotland recognise that the pandemic has caused extra financial demands on many families, therefore the participation fee has been lowered to only £30 for the whole project.
Places can be booked on the Trad Big Band online through the Shetland Arts box office here.
