Press Quotes

“Finally, Kevin Henderson, who, like his predecessor, is a Shetland fiddler. There is a great weight on his shoulders, following on from the magnificent Aly Bain. But instead of attempting to fill shoes, he makes his own stand. He is a fiddler who is able to weave his playing well into the sound of his band; he plays on much of the material the band performed, but never tried to grandstand. The Boys have flourished over the years thanks to their focus on presenting traditional music with an authentic approach. Henderson is absorbed into the sound and is his own man. His only major solo of the evening was an air followed by two reels, which showed he is a more than capable player. His technique is pure and rich, his style is basically Shetland with maybe a touch of classical but with some lovely sliding from note to note. He is an able and welcome addition to the band”
