The Fiddlers Fake Book is a great resource, but not if you are interested in the music of the British Isles. The English stuff is weak to the point of non-existent, and this appears to be a deliberate policy. Whether from ignorance or some political axe-grinding I couldnt say, but there are some very contoversial and totally ridiculous editorial comments saying there were very few fiddlers or fiddle tunes in England. Sad, really, because there were countless thousand fiddlers and countless thousands of tunes, thousands of which have come down to us. But you wont get that impression from the Fiddlers Folk Book. Alas.
