SPENCIE’S TUNES BUSINESS

A few years ago, Shetland Enterprise commissioned Steven to compose a tune for the retirement of Dr Jim Hunter, chairman of Highlands and Islands Enterprise.

Staff at Shetland Enterprise encouraged Steven to charge a fee for the tune (something he had never done before!) and advised him to begin composing tunes on a commercial basis. There was clearly a demand for Steven’s work and it was evident that people would be more than happy to pay for it.

With support from Shetland Enterprise, a business plan was formulated resulting in this tune composing service – Spencie’s Tunes.
