Music
The tunes come from many and diverse
sources, the usual Celtic dance music is there in abundance, but also
Scandinavian, American, European and English traditional music are well
represented, as well as the music of our local area and a smattering of early
music. We think it very important to try and accomodate everyone who comes
along, regardless of standard, so we play a variety of tunes, some easy,
others more complicated, and mostly in 2 or 3 part harmony. Some of the parts
will be simpler than others so everyone can join in. We run occasional
day-long workshops where we hire a special tutor who teaches us some new tunes
and maybe a different slant on the music. Some of the music we play is
available to download as Midi files from this website, it is also intended to
have the music available in abc format. We have lots of sheet music available
to members, some of the printing of which was kindly paid for by the Music Sound
Foundation.
