Subject: RE: Crane Driver & SussexCarole - Wedding 8 April
Okay - Carole gave us a buch of music which essentially contains suggestions for tunes which are likely to be played during the weekend. Some of them are fairly common session tunes, but others are ones which I don't know. Although I can sit down and work them out - I can read music, but do not often have a need to, so I don't do it "up to speed", it is still easier to listen to the tune.
I tracked down a bunch of the tunes - in ABC format - which can be converted to MIDI using http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html - CONVERT-A-MATIC.

A lot of the tunes are found in a booklet produced by the Lewes Arms Folk Club - Downloadable as ABC and Noteworthy Composer formats from HERE.
I have listed the tunes from the Weding List found in each "Volume":-
