Jamie Moyes the second willie Hunter wrote... as well as the first.. written about/ for willie Johnstone a guitarist who played with Aly Bain a lot Peerie is a shetland word for little so its called little willie(Johnstone) and its very hard to play this fast..without making mistakes ive been trying :( but its a brilliant tune..you dont come across it often..
Gaelic was never spoken in Shetland, but old Norse was. They are Vikings not Celts up there. That’s why Shetland music is so different, as is the style of playing.
