Adrian Brockless – “Da Sealkie Wife’s Sang”
I’m captivated by Adrian Brockless’ new release, “Da Sealkie Wife’s Sang”, a song that radiates the spirit of Shetland through every note. This heartfelt reimagining of Mary-Ellen Odie’s traditional folk piece is not only a testament to Brockless’ deep-rooted connection to Shetland culture but also a beautiful fusion of classical and local tradition.
Performed exquisitely by Orchestra Nova, the arrangement seamlessly intertwines the elegance of classical strings with the evocative essence of Shetland’s musical heritage, it’s like standing at the edge of the North Sea, feeling the timeless story woven through waves and wind. What began as a touching birthday gift for his mother has become a resonant piece for audiences far beyond Shetland’s shores. Make sure to follow Adrian Brockless on social media and dive into this stunning composition, it’s a song that bridges generations and invites you to add a piece of Shetland to your own playlist.
