Bryan is being modest. One of the arrangements for the part-playing sessions is his own autobiographical tune 'Shipwrecked in Milton Keynes'.
Suzanne has set a couple of tunes from the Joshua Jackson MS, 'A French Minuet' and 'The Pleasures of Salisbury' (also in William Winter's MS).
I've had a go at setting 'Lakes of Sligo', having been entranced by the tune as played by Frankie Gavin, Tim Edey, Rick Epping and Brendan Power on the CD 'Jigging the Reels'. I'm fascinated to discover that it's actually the same tune as William Kimber's 'Over The Hills to Glory' (just add dotting, triplets and a couple of Scotch snaps to taste).
