Hi there everyone.

Here (at last!) is my new book of 'English Fiddle Tunes For Banjo' (Hot off the press Jan 2016). 25 great tunes selected form the catalogues of English country dance music. Jigs, Hornpipes, Morris, Polka and Schottische are all covered in this
unique collection of music that has been specially arranged for the 5 String Banjo. Many tunes have 'harmony' 2nd Banjo parts and variations
All selections are presented in clear, easy to read Tab with all R H fingerings and LH fingerings where required. Book comes with a 25 track CD of all the tunes played 'note for note' as per the book tablature.

The tunes in this 42 page book will certainly make a refreshing change from the usual 'Bluegrass' material and are a complementary addition to the expanding library of Irish and Celtic music available for Banjo.

The following links show live performances of a selection of tunes from the book.

[ Beech Band Tune book (just sheet music/dots) is downloadable from folkatthebeech.org/edition-7-of-tunes.html ]
