Jenna Reid
Sometimes it seems like everyone in Shetland plays the fiddle and composes tunes for it. Jenna Reid is certainly in that mould – two really good sets with a good variety of tunes: her own, tunes by other Shetland folk, and tunes from further afield. Unlike some bands, there were almost equal numbers of slow tunes and fast ones – some of the slow ones quite lovely. The band included her sister on keyboard and 2nd fiddle, a guitarist and a bass player. But I find I don’t like unadulterated fiddle tunes – I’m a words man really.
