about

a) Doon Da Rooth
b) Da Papa Stour Sword Dance
c) Dus Bün Lang Awa An Im Tocht Lang Tae See Dee

‘Doon Da Rooth’ in all probability was a “spinning tune”, played when the wool was being spun on the spinning wheel, hence the unusual rhythm. Rooth is an Unst word for the leather part that holds the “flee” where the thread goes in on a spinning wheel. The second tune was used for a sword dance performed around the Christmas period on the island of Papa Stour and the last is a wedding tune.
