Alex Couper

Whilst Shetland’s rich fiddle heritage is known round the world, Shetland’s song tradition is less well known. Alex Couper is particularly renowned for writing and performing humorous songs that have long been a staple at local concerts throughout Shetland.

A favourite with Shetland audiences, Alex was convinced to release an album “I’ll tell dee a story” (Croft Records) which features 14 fantastic songs that tells audiences all about hilarious characters such as Lowrie and things like the benefits of eating more mutton!
