AAMOS

AAMOS is a relatively new band, formed, to spread the very special and energetic Shetland fiddle tradition to the world and further! They play mainly the traditional fiddle music of Shetland, the ritual tunes for weddings, the slow melodic tunes, and of course the fast swinging reels which Shetland is most famous for! The 2 fiddles and guitar combine to express deep subtle feeling, good humor and plenty of driving power!

Kevin Henderson is from Lerwick in Shetland and is most noted for playing in well known bands such as Shetland super group – Fiddlers Bid, Scottish group -Session A9, Nordic trio – The Nordic Fiddlers Bloc and one of the best known British/Irish folk bands – Boys of the Lough.
