Aidan Crossey - aka derrymacash in this peculiar corner of cyberspace - has put together volume one of a tune book aimed at mandolin and tenor banjo players.

The one hundred tunes in this volume are represented in mandolin tablature format and include a large number of tunes from the tradition as well as a number which I've written myself.

Volume Two is "in production", but - as you will see when you visit - putting this kind of resource together takes a lot of time. Expect to see V2 in a few months!

So here's the link! Aidan Crossey's Irish Mandolin Tune Book Volume One.

Pay The Reckoning's home page is here.

A Aidan, a chuisle,

Go hiontach ar fad! Even though I'd started my own 'tome of Aidan's tunes'; you've saved me a lot of work by putting them all in one place. Thanks ever so ;-)

You've done a fantastic job with Vol. One, and I'll be looking for Vol. Two with high hopes.

Ádh mór ort, Áine

(P.S. Did you ever get a chance to listen to the soundfile I sent you?)

sorry ... am I missing something? Nice tunes ... but the Aine thing?

I'm not always the most switched-on of people!

Derrymacash`S compositions are excellent, just listen to his Midis on his Pay the Reckoning Site, great stuff. Ard Mhacha

Ard Mhacha is right about Aidan's midi files, they're fantastic. But, hearing the boy play for real is even better. He is a master on the mando -- and don't get me started about his singing -- I'll just embarrass the lad. ;-)

sorry guest, it was thread creep. Aine has been offline for some time - and this was the first post I saw of hers since she has been able to post again.
