# Event Details

- **Event Name**: Hildina Ballad historic recording
- **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 05 Nov, 2025 at 10:45 am
- **Event Description**: A historic event as over 35 singers gather to record the 'Hildina Ballad', a historic ballad collected in the original Shetland Norn in Foula in 1774.

Please note this event is for singers - there won't be an audience. If you'd like to sing on the project please DM Barry Nisbet! 

The ‘Hildina’ is by far the largest surviving example of poetry or song in the Shetland Norn language. It’s a fine example of the Heroic Ballad tradition that still thrives in Faroe, and that Shetland and Faroe once shared. In addition, the ballad features a strong female lead character and gives a fascinating insight into the culture and music that Shetlanders enjoyed in the Norn-speaking period.

Barry Nisbet has reconstructed the ballad in Norn, and has used this to produce a translation into modern day Shetland (Shaetlan). This will ‘give back’ the ballad to modern Shetlanders, and will allow learning or performance of the ballad; it could also open the way for dancing (as is done in Faroe), and potential collaboration with Faroese and Nordic ballad groups.
