Tag Line
'We fight da slokkin o da light'. This tag line is inspired by former Northmavine resident and fiddle player/tutor extraordinaire, Tammy Anderson. Tammy lived in Eshaness and was driving away one evening when he was struck by how few houses remained wth a light burning. This inspired him to write the beautiful and haunting 'Da Slockit Light' (slockit - Shetland for extinguished) The tune expresses his sadness that the population of Eshaness was dwindling and the lights in his village were being extinguished, one by one.
