Got my copy through the "tunesforpractice" website. Nice people to deal with. This is an excellent resource for fiddlers - you could do worse than to (ahem) emulate Seamus Creagh's style, and the production here makes it easy enough to do just that. And I imagine it would be pretty useful for players of other melody instruments, too, for learning the tunes, of which there are quite a few. With material like this, who needs dots?
Highly recommended, whatever your instrument... Seamus introduces each tune and plays it sweet and cleanly at a nice relaxed tempo, and if even a smidgen of it crosses the ether to lodge in your playing, well, that will be a good thing, lovely stuff... Thanks Seamus and a special thanks, a big hug and a kiss for Gretta...
I've already twisted a few arms to purchase this one and I'm not through with the twisting...
