Da Slockit Light: Part 1

A beautiful tune by Shetland fiddler Tom Anderson on the gradual depopulation of his home in Eshaness.

With every crofter that left, another light in the community was extinguished (slockit).

One joy of visiting new sessions is picking up new (to me) tunes.

I heard this tune for the first time in the Royal Bar, Innellan, on Thursday night and just had to get it under the fingers.

Tune: McKechnie's Farewell
Composer: John Somerville

Dreich days in the Christmas to New Year limbo were perfect for learning some new tunes 🎻
