Sheila Henderson Band

Whether solo acoustic, or with her band, Sheila is a diminutive, musical tour-de-force. Take our word for it Shetland is not all wall to wall fiddles and when it comes to straightforward country or more challenging 'Americana' Sheila is in a class of her own.

With two albums already available (and a third hopefully not too far off) she has made her mark on the national country scene through appearances at the Wembley Country Music Festival and the Big Big Country Festival, as well as a number of appearances in the UK and Norway, to name but two.

Add to that support slots for the likes of Steve Earle on his visit to Shetland and likewise for guitar legend Albert Lee (of Emmylou Harris Hot Band fame) who actually played in her band and you get the picture this is no ordinary talent.

Her band is a who's who of top quality Shetland contemporary music, including ace guitarist Brian Nicholson, bass player Ivor 'Fred' Polson and Gordon Tulloch on drums.Whether you're looking for a laid-back acoustic country music night or a wild night of country rockin' you need look no further.
