The Shetland Music Development Project

Musically Shetland has always been more than capable of looking after itself, but however strong something may be it can always benefit from a helping hand from time to time.

Unique at that time, Shetland Arts Trust introduced its Music Development Project in early 1999 to do just that, having initially carried out widespread public research the length and breadth of Shetland, firstly to establish the need for such an enterprise and then also how it should effectively be carried out.

The project, and its associated programme, has evolved and indeed grown dramatically since those early days - read on to find out more about it...

 

Certainly an exciting project to be part of and hopefully one that will continue to assist the general development of music in Shetland for as long as it may be required.
