The Greene Tunebook

Tunes from The Red House, WWW Edition

http://www.ceilidhsoc.org/music.html

Hello Folks

This tunebook attempts to bring together the music that has been played at the RedHouse session over the past few years, as well as some new tunes that people wouldlike to introduce and a little local talent.

There will always be several different ways to play folk tunes - what I have tried to dois write down the versions that will be most familiar to the musicians who play at thesession. Where chords are given that are, as far as possible, the bog standard ones (notthe weard and wonderful ones, as Steve would say!) to help rhythm players.

To the best of my knowledge the runes are all tradidional unless an author is named.

I'd like to thank (in no particular order): Micky, Simon, Ruth, Susannah, Jess, Richard,Rob, Alison, Phil, Paul and all current ceilisocks for their runes and suggestions. AndAnna, for putting up with me typing in tunes in the middle of the night.

Hope it's useful!

Richard John Greene
