Back to Mak a Kishie Needle Dye

MAK A KISHIE NEEDLE, DYE/DIE. Shetland, Shetland Reel. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. "'Dye' was an affectionate term for Grandfather on the West side of Shetland. A Kishie is a form of straw basket which was woven using a wooden needle very similar to a fishing-net needle. So, the title can be interpreted as -- 'Make a Kishie Needle, Grandad'" (Anderson). The tune is in the repertory of the Shetland Fiddle Band and is widely known in the Shetlands.

Source for notated version: "the late" Peter Fraser (Shetlands) [Anderson].

Printed sources: Anderson (Ringing Strings), 1983; p. 85.

Recorded sources: Topic 12TS379, Aly Bain & Tom Anderson - "Shetland Folk Fiddling, vol. 2" (1978).
