    I'm not sure how effective this would be, but it appears he has a listing on LinkedIn

    I tried that, but I need to upgrade my Linked-In account to send an email.

    I've not heard of that book but if you havent heard of them the Kiaull Yn Theay books are worth a look for Manx tunes, think there's maybe four of them. Hope that helps.

    I had a copy but think I might have given it to a friend in Australia a year or so ago... I'll check. I know Mike and used to play in sessions with him although I now live at the other end of the UK, and can try and track him down if you like.

    Mark, I don't know of the Patton book, but their are 40 downloadable Manx tunes here:http://www.manxheritagemusic.org/home.aspx

    Also, there is a nice collection of Manx music arranged for harp by Charles Guard. It is available from various harp stores, such as Melody's Traditional Music and Harp Shoppe: http://www.folkharp.com/product/manx-music

    Regards,

    I bought my lovely Gibson A5G from Michael, and have his email address somewhere.

    PM me if you would like the address.
