jack campin . a reasonable book to start with, would be the johnny o leary book , personally i think it preferable to learn by ear but if and when i use books that might be one i would use , there are others, a book by mally.. 100 irish polkas ,
of course i am lucky that i have good players near me such as pat fleming, marie cotter richie tisdall tom sullivan mary tisdall. i also used to live near julia clifford played with her a few times booked her at my folk club etc. your comment about oneills is about 40 years out of date
