Artist Name
Brian Gear
Entry Type
Individual
Description
Brian is generally viewed as one of the finest fiddle players in Shetland today, certainly in a technical sense at any rate.
He is a pupil of the late Willie Hunter Jr and is seen by many as a worthy successor to Willie's revered place in the live Shetland music scene.
Although not a professional musician Brian has travelled widely through the UK, Ireland and recently the far east.
He is also a member of Shetland dance band the 'Cullivoe Dance Band', ultimately replacing Willie Hunter on fiddle in the band's line-up.
