Hi Folks
Here are the tunes I've posted during June. I'm continuing with Aird's tunes for a wee while yet as I'm short of time at the moment. I posted versions of these last year but I'm re-doing...

Fascinating stuff. I could get into a long discussion about all this, especially the political context, but I'm really interested to lnow what it all sounded like at that time, in the late 18th...

Hi folks

I've posted some new tunes this month on my Tune of the Week page. As well as helping intermediate level players learn some great tunes you could look at these as kits for small groups...

Hi all,

Wow! What a resource. Can't wait to get stuck into these. Do you mind if I post any versions I manage to assemble? It might be interesting to hear how we are all using the materials. Would...
