Cheers for a bit of advice. My problem (well, musical problem anyway ;-) is just as Mark says, I don't know how they should sound. And in particular, I don't know the rhythm. Every tune is just listed as 4/4 with a series of quavers, but very rarely do they think to tell you if it's a shuffle rhythm (ie. long-short triplet feel). Sight-reading the tunes and working out whether I like them isn't a problem if I can get that, but it'd be a bugger to learn a tune and then find it's all to cock. There's a fair chance that using the wrong rhythm is making the tune sound crap.

Maybe everyone else knows from the title of the tune or the type of tune or whatever, but not having a folk-dancing background, I couldn't tell a reel from a jig from a hole in the ground...

Grab.
