Quattro Stagioni

First of two programmes in which Catriona MacDonald looks back at the life of fiddle player Dr Tom Anderson MBE , affectionately known as "Tammy", who died in September 1991.
Tammy was the lynchpin of the great revival in Shetland fiddle music over the past 40 years. And it all began with short wave radio and sitar music.
