Try asking at your local library; and see if they can locate copies for you. I have been helped a great deal by librarians in these matters, their search computers can do wonderfull things finding old books. Yours,Aye. Dave

I believe they were originally published in Ireland but I'm not sure. I've done a bit of searching on the web and haven't had too much luck. If they are out of print I'd atleast find someone who has all 4 volumes to get copies of certain tune settings.

Just sitting here practicing "The Kid on the Mountain" wondering if anyone has any ideas on this.

Since I've been in here almost all day looking for lyrics I thought I'd see if anyone knows where a person might be able to order copies of Bulmer & Sharpley's "Music of Ireland" series of tunebooks. I've managed to obtain a copy from an old folky's collection, but I understand that there are several volumes.
