Northmavine Fiddle and Accordion Club

Northmavine Fiddle and Accordion Club

Northmavine Fiddle and Accordion Club was formed in September 1982 with the aim of getting folk in the area together to enjoy playing traditional Shetland music.

Tammy Anderson, probably one of the most famous of all Shetland fiddlers, and originally from Eshaness, was so excited when he heard about the club that he promptly sent a tune that had come to him as he did the washing up. The tune was named The Northmavine March and has become the club's signature tune. The club still meet most Tuesday nights in Hillswick hall for a tune.The club perform at many local events and play for many a lively dance. Quite a few of the clubs musicians past and present have written tunes which the group perform. They club welcome anyone who plays or wants to listen to their music.
