Many of these tunes have been played for generations and will be immediately familiar to experienced musicians. Their enduring popularity means they continue to crop up regularly at sessions, making them an important part of any player's traditional Irish repertoire.

The collection covers an exceptionally wide variety of dance tune types, including reels, jigs, hornpipes, polkas, slides, slip jigs, marches, set dances, waltzes, mazurkas and flings, together with a varsovienne, barn dance, single reel and single jig.
