I don't suppose any of you Irwins know if the originals of William's tunebooks or his diary are still extant? A number of us have been trying to track them down over many, many years - but to no avail. Would be great if one of your family turned out to have them in the attic ...

PS I believe there's to be a special tribute day to William Irwin at Chapel Stile in the Langdales this summer. Greg, do you have any more details?
