Described by Aly Bain as “one of Shetlands finest young fiddle players”, Bryan Gear has been entertaining audiences and inspiring young and old players in concerts, workshops and festivals for many years. A student of the late great Willie Hunter, Brian has grown to embody much of the great man himself and it's probably the greatest accolade that many prominent Shetland musicians now recognise him as Willie's worthy successor in the field of Shetland traditional fiddle music.
Violet Tulloch has become internationally acclaimed for her truly individual style of piano accompaniment, having 'backed' legendary names such as Tom Anderson of course and more recently Aly Bain. In this role she has made many radio and televison appearances and recently was the focus of her own radio 'biography' on BBC Radio Scotland with Robbie Shepherd. |
