Shetland Islands classical composer Adrian Brockless announces new video My True Love

Adrian’s life is steeped in music, stemming from his deep-rooted family heritage. His father, Brian Brockless, was a well-known figure in British classical music, recognised for his contributions to the revival of Renaissance music and collaborations with leading orchestras like the Royal Philharmonic and English Chamber Orchestra. Adrian’s aunt, Pauline Brockless, a celebrated soprano, performed with Ralph Vaughan Williams and sang in proms at the Albert Hall with the London Symphony Orchestra under Sir Malcolm Sargent. This lineage has clearly shaped Adrian’s musical outlook, particularly his fascination with Renaissance choral traditions and classical influences like Olivier Messiaen, along with unexpected inspirations like Oasis and The Beatles.

His early musical experiences were similarly formative. As a chorister at St Paul’s Cathedral, and later as Head Chorister at Guildford Cathedral, Brockless developed a deep love of music, moving from performance to composition. These experiences laid the foundation for his later interest in composition.

Brockless’ move to Shetland has introduced fresh inspiration, allowing him to explore new musical landscapes.
This release follows Brockless' work as producer of an audiobook version of celebrated naturalist Bobby Tulloch’s book Shetland: An Islander, His Islands and Their Wildlife on which two further classical arrangements of Shetland folk tunes can also be found.
