"Last Tuesday at the Beech Beginners Session "
Good luck - some of those don't look much like beginners' tunes!!!
And some of the them are in "interesting" keys...
Nice work though!

Do tell him 'well done' from me. I know only too well how long that sort of thing can take.

What a lovely link, it's going to keep me happily browsing through the tunes for hours. I hope Fynn gets the degree with honours after all that work.

Thanks Johnny,

that is truly generous and amazing.

This could keep the Last Tuesday at the Beech Beginners Session tuned up for ever, or the rest of my life!

Here's 200 tunes for you as a pdf download.

It's Volume 1 of Peter Thompson's Compleat Collection of Country Dances - a compendium of his annual published books between 1751 and 1757 with some additions.

The file is a labour of love completed by Newcastle folk degree student Fynn
Titford-Mock and donated to the Village Music Project.
