Old Peat Road, The
The jig known as The Old Peat Road was composed by the celebrated Shetland fiddler Tom Anderson. Set in A minor with a 6/8 meter, the tune reflects the distinctive regional style of Shetland traditional fiddle music. Because its precise historical associations are not widely documented, the piece is best appreciated through its lively rhythmic drive and characteristic North Isles melody.
