I know of the existence of video footage, Shammerton73, when he was filmed for an RTE episode of the Pure Drop from the Irish broadcaster. The programme as presented by fiddler Paddy Glackin and in particular I think it focused on links with Ulster and the Shetlands.
If Scotland does get a Creative Commons interactive channel as Blair Jenkins is hoping for, I would ask RTEs permission and if could source video, would up it just like that!
you can't but love this music. Aly is a great man he has made his music global and also learnt musically from the world. He continues on his path and those with listening ears are invited to follow.
Fantastic! The tune is "Starry Nights in Shetland". Aly Bain & Phil Cunningham play it in "The Ruby" in a set with "Sunset over Foula (1)" and Isles of Gletness (2)". Great video. Thanks and I wait for an other videos!!!
I think some of those backing vocals are from fulmar. Credit where it's due.

Great video to accompany this music, reminds me of a better world mid-20th century.

I´s virtually impossible to smile while playing fiddle, and im guessing the others are just concentrating too hard :-)
