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.

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

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.

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
