Les, a word of warning - if you took tunes from the Spare Parts site today, you'll only have got what we took to the Gosport & Fareham Easter festival for concertina part-playing sessions. No reason why you shouldn't play them on the banjo or any other instrument, but they aren't general session fodder.

We haven't put the others up yet - Bryan, Suzanne and I are still making our choices. I can tell you that so far I've chosen

Albert Farmer's Bonfire Tune
Babes in the Wood
Bedbreaker (by Ian Wilson of Peeping Tom)
Bromsberrow Heath (Beatrice Hill's 4-Hand Reel)
Corn Rigs
Dennington Bell
Leather Away the Wattle O

as these are all getting a frequent bashing in local tunes sessions, but we'll be taking at least a dozen definites with a further half dozen spares.

Tootle pip,

Valmai
