Nicola Benedett does not play this very well you can tell she is not use to this type of playing.. terrible in fact listen to willie hunter playing it of aly bain..
Sorry, cannot agree , this is a way above average attempt to interpret a classic Shetland composition and it was well received by the audience, listen to it again!?!
Totally agree with you. Classical players struggle (especially with faster tunes), but at least she had a good stab at it. She has a CD (Homecoming) of Scottish tunes and the traditional ones are not well done, apart from 'My Love is Like a Red, Red Rose.
This tune, written by a friend of my parents, was played at my mother’s funeral. Always brings a tear to my eye. This is a beautiful version.
Willie hunter really wrote the best tunes ❤❤
A beautiful piece of music and a stunning performance, full of true emotion. ❤ it.
Simply beautiful ❤
Stunning performance. Willie Hunter certainly composed a masterpiece in this one
Simply sublime. Beautiful music from Beautiful women.
Turning in his grave with a huge smile on his face - fantastic and what a fantastic tune!

The Grave of Major General Sir Hector McDonald
So beautiful! Does anyone have any idea where can I find this score? It would be so nice to perform it!
Laia Pujolassos Just listen, then play by ear. Sure you can do it 😉
Try the shetland times website or high level music, shetland. You might be able to buy the book.
Their are also some websites that do music scores. If you Google leaving lerwick harbour.
Why turning in his grave?
Played like a true "Classical" violinist.. very pretty, but also not quite right.. and over played

The late Willie Hunter was a generous spirit. He would probably have loved to hear Nicola play his music.
