Composed by Ronny/Ronnie Cooper (d. 1982) of Lerwick, an accomplished self‑taught Shetland accordion player and piano accompanist. A ''tushkar'' is the Shetland name of a tool for the cutting of peat, although there are very similar tools in use throughout Ireland, Britain and the Continent. In Ireland the tool is called a ''slane''. Cooper got the inspiration for the melody at his local smithy, watching the forging of the instrument by the owners of the establishment, the famous Shetland fiddlers Willie Hunter Senior and Junior. The tune has become popular throughout Britain and especially among Scottish dance bands. | ||
