Aly Bain, Ale Möller & Bruce Molsky

Sunday 3 November Doors: 7pm, Start: 7.30pm Mareel Auditorium Aly Bain is Scotland’s supreme traditional style fiddler.

Ricky Ross

Of Deacon Blue Tuesday 19 November Doors: 7pm, Start: 7.30pm Mareel Auditorium Deacon Blue front man Ricky Ross travels to Shetland as he tours his new album Trouble Came Looking, to perform songs from his solo career and Deacon Blue, and to tell the stories behind the songs. Ricky says of the tour: “I’m looking forward to playing places we couldn’t get to with Deacon Blue, and sharing the untold stories behind my songs.” Ricky began writing Trouble Came Looking as the recession hit. It’s a modern folk album about the helplessness felt as governments signed off billions to protect banks, leaving the people to fend for themselves. £20 Shetland Arts presents
