Escape - Shetland Bus
The dialect of the Shetland Islands is studded with words left over from the extinct Norn language. Kathleen Jamie discovers its appeal for poets who live in the rugged landscape.
A special broadcast of a live recording of a suite of original music composed by Jenna and Bethany Reid. It was first performed at Celtic Connections earlier this year, then at Shetland's 'Fiddle Frenzy' festival back in August. It's inspired by the story of young Norwegian instrument maker Jan Baalsrud who, in 1943, made the journey across the North Sea from Scalloway in Shetland to occupied Norway in an attempt to help free his homeland. Narrated by Phil Goodlad.
