Andy Ross and the Shetland Accordion and Fiddle Festival

Posted by berkeleyscot on November 11, 2007

I visited the Shetland Isles with my parents when I was six years old, but these days, thanks to Andy Ross, the host of Andy’s Internet Ceilidh, I’m there practically everyday.
Andy has a friend, or perhaps nemesis, who lives in the Shetlands. She and I have become pen pals and I’ve even joined her gang.
I can’t identify her, because I did not ask permission to do so, but Andy Ross’s listeners will know she is. Quite a few of Andy’s listeners are in the gang too!
Andy broadcasts once a month from the studios in Dingwall. His latest broadcast, on November 4, was about his experience at the Shetland Accordion and Fiddle Festival and the great hospitality he received from she-who-will-remain nameless!
