TBSTB SCOTTISH FIDDLERS SESSION TUNE BOOK. Book
Christine Martin & Anne Hughes. 48pp
In order to have a good session it is important to have a common repertoire of tunes and this is forever changing as musicians introduce new tunes to each other that they have learnt from many sources such as other musicians, music courses, fiddler teachers, Cds and travel in other countries. The material is very varied and often the tunes come not just from Scotland but from Ireland, Cape Breton, Scandinavia, and even Eastern Europe. As the tunes are passed on they often evolve like chinese whispers and the versions become slightly different and more influenced by Scottish music. In this book we have a representative collection of the best tunes played in sessions in Scotland today. A collection of over 160 tunes many of which will be familiar from the playing of touring bands such as Blazin' Fiddles, Cliar, Wolfstone and Capercaillie.
