Thread Name: Tunes - their place in the tradition
Subject: RE: Tunes - their place in the tradition
My favourite tune is 'Brafferton Village' written by the mighty Kathryn, which she wrote what, 20 years ago? Do tune sessions have a 'tradition' at all? At our tuesday night session we hammer through everything from O'Carolan to the theme from 'Crossroads'
                The usual instruments are smallpipes,whistles and Oirish pipes played the the lovely Gedpipes, plus violin, octave mandolin, dobro type mandolin, a Maccaferri guitar, bouzouki and sundry squeezeboxes.

                  It maybe that the only trdition is our own on tuesday.
