Some tunes…
Ideally we can construct three or four sets out of these tunes to play on the afternoon of Sunday 4th at the Festival. Does anyone fancy having a go at putting some of these into sets?
See also some simpler (or at least easier tempoed tunes) that have been given to Girvan Folk Club tune players.
Due to the lateness of getting these tunes to you guys have I steered away from some of the more involved tunes and flatter keys but if anyone wants to see ALL the tunes they are on this Google Drive link.
UPDATE: Ali McC and Sean will play Ayr Races as part of their headline set so that tune is now taken.
Practice recordings
Very rough recordings of me sight-hacking my way through these tunes (apart from the first recording of someone else which is really nice).
