Willie Hunter - Leaving Lerwick Harbour

This recording was made in January 1994, during the last few weeks of Willie Hunter’s life.

Although he was very ill, Willie was determined to complete the recording and leave a musical legacy.

Willie was one of Shetland’s finest fiddlers, both as a soloist and with an accompanist, most often with the excellent Violet Tulloch on piano, and also in ceilidh bands. The Shetland swing was there in abundance in Willie’s fiddling, a recognisable style.

He was also a composer of note and one of his tunes, Leaving Lerwick Harbour, is not only included on this album but is the title of it, and has been recorded by many other musicians.

Willie had a very close relationship with Aly Bain, with whom he appeared on television several times.
