Irish Session Tunes: The Blue Book

The Blue Book contains over 100 Irish Dance Tunes and Airs, selected and arranged into Sets by Brid Cranitch.
This collection contains a varied selection of widely played and lesser known tunes, divided into different dance rhythms: double jigs, slides, slip jigs, polkas, reels, hornpipes, set dances and airs. In turn these have been sorted into sets of similar tunes to be played at Irish sessions.
The range of the tunes are particularly suitable for the fiddle, but can be used on other instruments.
Includes Silver Spear, Shetland Reel, Rose In The Heather and Fasten The Leg In Her.
