"They were calling him the saviour of Shetland musical heritage long before he died; and now, after his death in September 1991 at the age of 81, his life's work is immortalised in the first of three volumes of the unpublished works of the inimitable, the unforgettable, the great Tom Anderson." Magnus Magnusson KBE.
