Shetland Fisherman's Backstep

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Shetland Fishermans Backstep is a lively traditional-style jig composed by Ronald Jamieson in the G major scale and 6/8 meter. Because specific historical associations and regional origins are not widely documented for this piece, its background remains rooted generally in the contemporary Shetland fiddle tradition. The tune is characterized by an upbeat, rhythmic drive well-suited for spirited dancing and dynamic ensemble playing.
