Reviews

"easy to read, and successful in gathering together many of Scotland’s best loved and most played tunes. If that is what you want, this book is for you.”

John Moar

“a collection of old favourites, simply arranged in an interesting variety of styles so that a student working for grades two or three would enjoy playing them"

John Moar - Orkney View

As a book for band use, however, the fiddle book is very helpful in arranging the tunes in sets with suggestions which dances the tunes best fit"
