The band's story began in 1970 when Tom Cussen and Benny O'Connor began playing with friends at the Oxford Tavern in Kentish Town, London. After returning to Ireland around the end of 1971, they continued developing the band and its repertoire.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eOver the following decades Shaskeen produced numerous recordings of lively Irish traditional music, building a repertoire closely associated with c il  playing, set dancing and the Irish session tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eThe tunes in this collection have been transcribed from Shaskeen recordings, with the chords played by the band included. Rather than drawing on older collections simply for historical repertoire, the book presents versions of tunes performed by a working c il  band and reflects music played in Irish sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eExtensive cross-references and background information have also been included, helping musicians explore the tunes and their origins further.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eTwo Shaskeen recordings associated with this collection are also available separately on CD: My Love Is in America and The Mouse Behind the Dresser.
