Da Fustra began when Douglas and Cecil, then studying in Edinburgh, got together to play their native Shetland music. Nearly twenty years later the impetus is stronger than ever, and Da Fustra maintains the momentum and style that is the Shetland Ceilidh.
Ceilidh dances in Shetland idiom are usually danced three times through, and the Boston Two-step always features at least three times in an evening! The dancers catch their breath with the slow waltzes, including one from neighbouring Scandinavia, before hurtling themselves back into the mealstrom of the Two-step and the Quadrilles!
Da Fustra's blend of traditional tunes and dances, and swing-along, sing-along sets, turns any evening's dance into a real swell party! Learn More -

Up Helly Aa 2011 DVD
£15.00
A year the squad will never forget!
To the casual observer, the Jarl Squad consists of a lot of bearded men appearing, as if by magic, on the last Tuesday in January.
Behind this lies a year of careful design, hard work and not a little anxiety that a good turnout will result.
It's all here, the work, the summer barbie, even the children's Christmas party.
This film - the squad 'home movie' - is produced primarily for the squad members. It will be of interest, however, to anyone who enjoys Up Helly Aa. Learn More
