The Fiddler's Tune-Book brings together a generous selection of traditional airs and melodies from across the British Isles in a single convenient volume, providing a rich source of repertoire for fiddlers and other traditional musicians.

Originally published as two separate books during the 1950s, The Fiddler's Tune-Book became an influential collection within traditional music, introducing generations of musicians to a wealth of enduring melodies. This edition combines the two original collections, making the complete selection readily accessible to today's players.

Chord symbols have been added to the tunes, extending the book's usefulness beyond melody players and making it suitable for accompanists and group playing. Although created with the fiddler in mind, the melodies can be explored on a wide variety of traditional instruments.

The collection provides both experienced musicians and newer players with an opportunity to discover repertoire that has been played and passed on for decades. An index of alternative tune titles is also included, particularly useful in traditional music where the same melody may be encountered under different names.

The volume is completed by an introduction by Peter Kennedy, placing this substantial collection within the wider tradition from which its music was drawn.
