These two reels are commonly played together in sessions. "Spootiskerry" is a contemporary tune written in 1980 by Ian Burns. I have used an arrangement for contra dance band by Evelyn Tiffany-Castiglioni. "Willafjord" is a traditional Shetland tune, said to have been brought back to Shetland from Greenland by whalers in the late 19th century. Original arrangement by me.
Played on two mandolins and two tenor guitars.
Mid-Missouri M-0W mandolin
1915 Luigi Embergher mandolin
Vintage Viaten tenor guitar (x2)
