Folk on Foot

Maurice Henderson & Ewen Thomson on Shetland

We’re back on the glorious Shetland Isles for this episode and who better to show us around than the renowned local fiddle player Maurice Henderson (of Fiddlers Bid) and his friend the luthier and guitarist from Fair Isle Ewen Thomson? After Ewen demonstrates how to make a great violin, they take us to the beach where they tell folk tales, play traditional dance tunes and introduce us to the sea birds.---Access exclusive films of Maurice and Ewan performing along our walk, along with over 150 other performances from dozens of artists, by signing up to Folk On Foot On Film: <a href="https://www.folkonfoot.com/watch">https://www.folkonfoot.com/watch </a>We rely entirely on support from our listeners to make Folk on Foot.
