Apologies - I was not at my usual computer when I posted previously and was cookie-less as a consequence.

I have read with great interest the replies sent back and am particularly grateful for the lists of tunes.

I am also fascinated by this idea that the A and B parts are so arranged that the tune is in the A part and the B part is provide energy. I would like to read/discuss more on this subject.

I am not trying to take over the session but would like to make sure that in a two hour period there were maybe 3 or 4 tunes that provided me with some recognition from the others ( and from myself as I can hear that I'm playing ok !)

Here is a list of tunes so far, and this is certainly enough for me to be going on with :-

Statten Island Steamboat Foxhunters Church Street Bonny Kate Speed the Plough Rakes of Kildare Horses Branle (tricky Bb!) Haste to the Wedding Angeline the Baker Rakes of Mallow Girl I left Behind Kerry Polka Old Joe Clark Cluck Old Hen Over the Waterfall Swallowtail Jig The Laurel Tree Maggie's Pancakes Brenda Stubbit's The Wind that shakes the Barley Star of Munster Ships are Sailing The Silver Spear Over the Moor to Maggie Saint Anne's reel Ships are Sailing The Green Gates The Ship in Full Sail Boys of the Town Pipe on the Hob The Legacy The Boys of Bluehill Manchester Hornpipe The Honeysuckle. Kesh Jig Irish Washerwoman Blackthorn Stick Jackson's Favourite Rose in the Heather Blarney Pilgrim Drowsie Maggie Off She Goes Sally Gardens Blaydon Races Si Bheag Si Mhor
