Hjaltibonhoga – International Fiddle Community with Shetland Fiddling at its core

Saturday 14th March, 2026

A visit from the lovely people from Hjaltibonhoga, for a workshop and a concert in the evening. Here is a clip from the rehearsal by Hjaltibonhoga, with photos from the day, including our workshop on Shetland fiddle playing.

And here is a clip from the end of the concert, when TFA were invited to join Hjaltibonhoga for a set of their tunes that we had been rehearsing. Wonderful to hear all the fiddle together, with a great ‘engine room’ in support!
