Thanks Paul.
Here's an effort at a Scottish air, Mary Young and Fair, playing in a very laid back and solo style.

I've been tidying up the website and adding a few tunes and other stuff, including two new Aird's tunes, this time from the 2nd collection. Let me know if you get any use out of the...
Hi Folks
Sorry about the late posting. I'm too old to be working on a building site, but I am, albeit one of my own making - and I can only get to a computer at weekends so things can get a bit...
Great tune, great playing and a definite Breton feel to it. Love it.

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
Here are the tunes I've prepared for Tune of the Week during May. Hope some of you are enjoying from learning these old tunes from the first Airds Collection (1782 app).

Thanks Aidan. They do take a bit of work. However, like last year I may have to wind down the Tune of the Week now that the weather has improved (a bit). A couple of other projects are underway...
Hi Folks
Here are the resources I've posted this month. There were four tunes in April but I've added today's - because it's great wee tune (Kiss me Sweetly).
There are two more Aird's tunes...
Nigel, thanks for that on The Old Tune. I can see how it can be played as a strathspey. I must have seen it somewhere with the name , The Old Tune' or maybe 'Auld Tune'. Wonder where that was?

Hi Folks
Here are the resources I've posted this month. Hope you enjoy them. Remember, they're not too difficicult and work best in small groups or at least duets.

Lovely stuff.
Sorry about the links not working, but I've now tried the 'play' links on a PC, an Android phone and an iPad and they all seem to be working - except that you might have to 'refresh' the page before...
Thanks John. Hope you're enjoying these tunes as much as I am.

Well said Aidan. The music is for all of us, not just the weirdly gifted. Relax, enjoy a stride not a gallop.

Hi Folks
Here are some new resources I've posted for February. There are various audio files to help you learn the tunes and tablature and notation too. I think the main benefit here is having an...
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
Hope you had a good Christmas. The daylight hours are increasing by a couple of minutes with each new day here in Scotland. I'm really looking forward to getting a bunch of mandoleers...
Gurgling the Churn is a great name. I notice that there are loads of names for it on thesession.org, and a few 'churn'.
Fig For A Kiss, Figs For A Kiss, Gáire Na MBán, Glugar An Mheadair, Milk...
Hi all,
I've posted a series of tutorials for this tune. You can just learn the basics of the plectrum style or try to play triplets and Irish style ornamentation.
If you have a go I'd love...
Might be an iOS problem. The files seem to open on some devices. Refresh the pages if you're on a normal browser - might be best to use google's Chrome. Odd that you can't open anything in the...
Ah, I see. I posted it to a rockabilly section.
John
Thanks John. Hope the stuff proves useful.
