The music

We mainly use traditional music (from England, Scotland, Ireland, and other countries), but there are also some music-hall tunes, and even a few original ones. Basically we'll use anything that we can play and that is good to dance to.

Examples of sources are:-

• Community Dance Manuals (published by the EFDSS)
• The various tune collections published by Kerrs of Glasgow
• The Fiddler's tune book (volumes one and two)
• The Portland Collection
• The Barnes Book of English Country Dance Tunes
• The Complete Country Dance Tunes (editted by Jeremy Barlow)
• plus tunes learnt at musicians' sessions & workshops
• and, of course, the various internet sites!
