Subject: RE: Tune Req: Current Session Tunes
With the Edinburgh fiddle festival it shouldn't matter too much if you don't know it in advance because any new tune they've picked up in some visiting star's workshop will be played about 100 times over the weekend and no way will you not know it by the time you go home. (I hung around the festival a lot of the time one year when they had a thing about "Paddy's Leather Breeches". Going home half asleep on the night bus afterwards, it was raining and the windscreen wipers were squeaking it at me).

A few more still-in-copyright tunes very popular in Scottish sessions around here at the moment: The Shore Bar, Islay Rant, The High Drive, Mouth of the Tobique, Crossing the Minch, The Ruby, Brenda Stubbert's Reel, Glencoe March, Stella's Trip to Kamloops.
